Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Treatment for clavicle fracture depends on the fracture configuration and displacements.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your history, it looks like a blunt injury with a hematoma at the site of the injury. I suggest getting an X-ray of the elbow to rule out a fresh fracture. If there is no fracture, then use an arm pouch and keep the elbow at 90 degrees flexion in the arm pouch for three weeks. I also suggest taking Chymoral forte (Chymotrypsin and Trypsin - enzymes to break down hematoma and swelling) and analgesics like Tramadol-Paracetamol combination for acute pain.
