Good evening. Well if it is still swollen, please get an X ray done to rule out for any hair line fracture. Use some Anti inflammatory drugs along with warm compression and wear a crepe bandage over it to avoid putting any form of force on it. If it still does not improve, kindly consult an orthopaedic. Hope the information was useful
