What happened to your knee and ankle is just because of injury that you had so no need to worry much. You just have to take some analgesic with anti-inflammatory action like tab combiflam or tab ibuprofen three times daily after meals with one antibiotic like cap ampoxin 500 mg three times daily with cap omez or cap rabez twice daily empty stomach. You can apply volini gel or powergesic-plus gel over your knee and ankle to reduce pain and swelling. Ice application is also helpful as some paramedics had told you. Don't worry your knee and ankle will be fine within 5-7 days.
