Suggest Treatment For Lump And Swelling On Collar Bone

While playing ultimate frisbee, i collided with another person and the frisbee (with the weight of the person falling) hit me in the collarbone area. I don t think it s fracture but the area hit has swollen up/looks like there s a lump on my collar bone. The swollen area feels firm. Should i be worried?

Hi
Thanks for consulting us.
An x-ray is needed to exclude displacement. Swelling is likely to subside if injury is responsible. Hope it is useful for you. Feel free to contact
