Should I Apply Ice To Bruised Muscles After Falling On Ice?

Earlier this morning I slipped on some ice. I m 23, nothing is broken but I definitley feel brusing on my left gluteus max, also my lateral lower leg near the peroneal muscles and fibula aches since I somewhat landed there as well. Do you recommend to ice said muscles? If so, for how long?

if pain persisted ultrasound therapy and antibruiding cream are going to help.
