Hello,
I would recommend you do an X-ray to evaluate the damage from the trauma. Meanwhile, I recommend using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three times a day. I recommend using ice compression in the area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
