If it's hair line fracture then no need to worry. Rest your leg. Pour warm Murivenna Thailam twice a day and wrap that part with cotton. Don't apply soap. If displacement is there then you have go under some ayurveda procedure like kushabandhan.
Next Steps
1. Gandh Thailam capsule 2-2-2 with warm milk
