Hello,
You can have bruise due to trauma. But you should rule out knee joint damage in form of menisci or ligament damage by X-ray.
For speedy recovery, you can be prescribed anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen for five days.
You can revert back with an X-ray report. Avoid strenuous activities and take rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
