HI
Thank fro asking to HCM
It may the soft tissue swelling and very common in such type of injury, it will go away with the time if it is painful then you can have any pain killer medicine and the Ibuprofen is the drug of choice 400 mg just twice a day would give good result, if it does not resolved then it has to be investigated for unhealed fracture or unabsorbed blood cot, but for sure this will be fine, take care and have nice day.
