Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Chin After Accident

I fainted a week ago and landed on the last step on the stairs, bumped my chin badly, bruising very bad but slowly going. Just noticed that it s sore in a particular area and feels like a lump under the skin that can move slightly. It s the only sore area left.
