Hi,
Yes, you must rush to the ER of a hospital. There may be a bony injury. X-rays of the affected part must be done. If there is any fracture, the setting of bone will be needed to be followed by a plaster cast. You may take paracetamol for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
