Hello,
It could be a minor ligament sprain.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
You can also apply ice packs.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
