Hi,
It is just a contusion. Fracture is unlikely. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. You can also apply ice packs for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated. In that case an X-ray will be useful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
