hi
There is a necessity of an xray/MRI of the hip for internal injury so must consult an orthopedic doctoras early as possible.Minor fracture or subluxation may be there in the hip joint which should not be ignored for long especially since swelling and limp are prominent symptomsTkae advil tabs after meals and use a walking stick forsupport and do minimal activity till x ray is done
best wishes
