Hi,
It can be due to minor contusion or thin fracture that may not be visible in X-rays.
As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac and apply ice packs for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get an X-ray done for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
