What Causes Bruise On The Upper Thigh?

I fell off a bike and got a severe leg bruise on my upper exterior thigh. It got terribly bruised and swollen. 3 weeks later the swelling has gone down some but still very swollen. Doesn t hurt to press on it but seems very filled with fluids. What should I do to get rid of swelling?
