    I had a tyre like that fixed once.
    Guy somehow welded the steel cords on the sidewall, and tyre looked and drove normally after that.

    However I don't advice anyone doing it. OP get a new tyre.

    Always happens a good tyre. More likely a pothole at speed than a kerb. Not would make a nice get me home spare. But better a new tire

    new tyre unfortunately OP
    I had something similar with one of mine a few weeks back - hit a pothole hard and when the tyre lad took the wheel off it was fractured aswell as bulged - would have blown soon.
    Your life is worth more than the cost of a tyre
