Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of a hematoma.
It is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin. It will settle by itself without any definitive treatment.
As of now you can apply icepacks for symptomatic relief.
You can also use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
