Hi
For sure ice will work like magic in knee swelling along with crepe bandage or knee brace.
You still need to get x ray done to rule out fracture.
You should consult orthopaedic surgeon to examine your knee joint for effusion in knee joint because effusion in knee joint cause swelling and it need to get aspirated here ice does not work.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
