It’s unclear from your question where your bruise is. Most bruises especially if you did fall are not serious and do hurt. You can apply ice to the area especially if it’s swollen. If it’s on your head and you have no loss of consciousness, vomiting , new extreme tiredness, just observe for those symptoms. If the bruise is not improving or you have those symptoms please see your doctor.
