It seems soft tissue injury so you should go for R.I.CE.[Rest, Icing,compression stocking or crepe bandage & Elevation on pillow while lying;Don't hang leg much]. Icing for 4-5 times for 10-12min. You can use DFO Gel.
Take anti-inflammatory like Etoshine90 once in a day.
Stil it's there after 2 days or not relieving at all in one day then show once to nearby OrthoSurgeon rule out fracture doubt with x-ray.
If it's not fracture then it will go in min. 3-4 days.
Take care
