Dear Madam, Thank you for posting your query at Chat Doctor.comfort pain you can take anti-inflammatory and ice pack. Please take bed rest and avoid moving. I advise you go to emergency room of the nearest hospital, where the available duty doctor will assess and get further investigation done depending on clinical findings. If you are back in your town still do not wait for doctor if you do not get appointment, go to emergency room and let the doctor see you. Please revert if you need any further information.
