To alleviate bruising you can use icepacks 3-4 times per day in 10-minute increments until swelling decreases. You can also use Arnica cream to apply gently to the area treated
For pain you can take paracetamol, but avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen as they may increase the chance of bruising
