Hello,
It could be a contusion or hematoma. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
As first line management, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs like serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
