Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation and swelling. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. The symptoms will relieve in a few weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
