you seem to have a soft tissue injury of your knee
please take following treatment:
1. apply ice packs 4-5 times in a day
2. keep your leg elevated. while sitting keep it on a chair or table and while lying down keep it on 2 pillows
3. you can take mild analgesic like acetaminophen or ibuprofen
this should take care of your problem
hope I have been of help
