Hi,
Pain, swelling, redness etc. are classic signs of inflammation. And trauma is a cause of inflammation. Unless it is significantly impairing function, it will go on its own. At best you need analgesics and if there is severe pain and limp, you may get an x-ray done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
