Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Considering your case possibility of fracture of bones around elbow cannot be ruled out. I would advise Xray of involved elbow anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. If it shows fracture you need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon nearby you. If it's normal do not worry. Apply ice packs frequently on elbow. Take tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 5 days. Wear elbow pouch for 2 weeks. You will be fine.
