Hello

Thanks for your query.

Since you have swelling with pain , i would recommend you visit your doctor who can take an xray to rule out a hairline fracture.

also , application of an antibiotic cream like fucidin cream will help in healing of the wound.

You can take a pain killer like paracetamol to reduce the pain.

take care
