Hello,
It may be due to ligament or meniscus tear.
For further assessment you may require MRI knee after orthopedician consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
Use knee cap
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
