Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain And Cracking Sound In The Knee

I jumped off my terrace to the adjoining terrace. The terrace I jumped onto was quite low. And then i had to come back home the same way! So, it was all fine that day and then the next day I was sitting with my feet folded, and when I unfolded it my left knee made some cracking sound and I felt immense pain for a minute but then it was fine. And now today, yet again when I unfolded my legs, my right knee cracked and I felt the same thing! Help!

Take rest so that if there may be any fracture or sprain or meniscus injury it doesn't increase.
