Suggest Treatment For A Swollen Lump On The Calf

I got hit in the calf 2 weeks ago by a softball. It immediately swelled and bruised. About an inch above the spot I got hit, a small lump immediately popped out too. I iced it right away and the lump went down. It hurt to walk on it for a couple days. Now, it s still bruised and the lump area is very tender to the touch and I can feel a hard lump under the skin. Is this something I should be worried about? Let it heal or see a doctor? People are concerned about a blood clot. I appreciate your input :)

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of trauma so it leafs to hematoma formation. It will heal within few days. Nothing to worry much about that. For pain and swelling analgesic plus anti inflammatory drugs ibuprofen can be used. Chymoral forte is useful for reduction of swelling faster. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
