Hello,
I recommend using cold compress or ice pack application for 20 to 30 minutes for the 48 hours following injury to reduce swelling.
I also suggest to elevate your elbow higher than your heart. I suggest a light compression with a wrapped bandage. In case of pain I suggest to use pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
