Hi,
You have to give your leg complete rest and have it examined. Until then Keep icing regularly at intervals of 2 hours to keep the swelling down. You will be given some anti-inflammatory medications to control the pain and swelling. Walk with your leg extended as much as you can and don't flex/bend your knee.
Take care. Get well soon!
