Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to traumatic injury to the soft tissues there have been injury to the soft tissue fibres in that area leading to inflammation and swelling as well as there is ruptured blood vessels leading to spillage of blood into the tissues leading to hematoma formation and bruising..
You should also get an x ray of the area done to get checked for any fractures..
I would suggest you to do alternate warm and cool compresses over the bruised area..
You can take Ibuprofen for pain..
Apply analgesic gel containing Diclofenac..
You can also apply heparin gel for faster fading of bruising..
In case if bone fracture is ruled out reduction and fixation will be done by an Orthopedician..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
