Whenever any trauma to the chin, the jaw joint (TMJ) gets affected in form of soreness or even fracture. Since you have pain and check of any swelling if at all, there is a strong chance for fracture, get a OPG xray or a better a CBCT scan for the joint to rule out fracture. Muscle / ligament soreness can be managed by simple rest + physiotherapy and some anti inflammatory medications.
