Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In The Knee
Hi, As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI to rule out possible causes like joint effusion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
