Hello,
It could be a contusion only. Dislocation or fracture are unlikely. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
