Hello,
It could be a contusion probably.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
