Hi.
Thanks for seeking advice through HCM.
You seem to be having a blood clot due to the injury which is now giving you trouble.
Please give hot wet towel compresses frequently & take some analgesics.
If it does not subside in a week / if you start getting fever, increase in pain at the site etc you may need to see a doctor who can assess it properly & do the needful.
Take care.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
You should be need x-ray to rule out any fracture of bone first as it is a large swelling.
As your skin was not broken there were least chances of pus formation but what you could see is a collection of blood with soft tissue swelling along with fractured bone or not.
Thanks.
