Hi,
At this early stage I suggest you rest and elevate your knees when possible to allow the swelling to reduce. Take paracetamol and ibuprofen for any pain and inflammation. Ice packs will also help the swelling.
In about a weeks time, if you are still suffering, I suggest you see your doctor as you may need scans on your knees.
I hope you feel batter soon.
