If it low velocity injury - fracture is unlikely. If you are able to walk without pain- fracture is unlikely. Apply ice mild pain killer if needed. If pain persists you might need x ray and consultation with Ortho doctor in person. Most of the injury will heal on its own - it might take upto 6 weeks.

x ray is helpful in ruling out but considering the outbreak I suggest you can wait for a day and see how the pain comes down with meds
