Hello
Welcome to HCM.
The pain may be due to ligament strain or tear caused by trauma.
A physical examination by orthopaedician is necessary.
Take tab ibuprofen twice for 5 days with antacids.
Keep applying locally ice pack for 15-20 minutes 3-4 times a day.
Knee support cap may help in healing.
Avoid any vigorous activity till it heals.
Strengthening muscles around joint and joint exercises under physiotherapist.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks.
