Hi there
Thanks for the query
You could be suffering from traumatic knee sprain or arthritis.
Keep the limb elevated. Apply warm packs. Take Tablet Acetaminophen 500mg twice a day for 5 days.
Avoid bending knee or walking on it if uncomfortable.
If the pain and swelling do not subside, get an Xray to look for arthritis.
I hope I have answered your query.
