the symptoms are suggestive of students's elbow or olecranon bursitis. There is cushion at elbow in which because of injury or rubbing water get accumulated that causes such problem. You should meet a doctor, if swelling is big he needs to remove water filled inside with the help of needle, He will also apply compression bandage. You may need to take brufen or diclofenec and any antibiotic as well. Do not rub our elbow or lift heavy weight from that elbow.
