Hi
First of all you have to rule out any bony injury.
If there is bony injury you should consult orthopedic doctor.
Hematoma around hip is either inside joint or outside joint that can be easily assessed by USG.
Since you can see and palpate the swelling I think you have swelling that is outside joint means hematoma in fat or muscles then rest to affected part, ice application, good pain killer and antibiotic course would suffice in that case you can visit your doctor.
Hope for your good and fast recovery.
