Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain
My daughter hurt her knee yesterday. She had a workout, was stretching out, and felt a pop in her knee. It was fine for a couple hours, then swelled up and became painful. It is still swollen today, she can move it more but not completely, and she is unable to put her full weight on it.

According to your description of the incident and signs and symptoms afterwards , in my opinion your daughter's knee should be fine, knee is structurally quite strong and doesn't usally get damaged with normal intentional stretching .
I would suggest you to assure that she rests will... cold sponge the area... wrap crepe bandage around it, apply some local pain killer cream if you feel like, you can get her take Tylenol if pain is much, it shoudl get better with in 4-5 days if it doesn't then contact your doctor to get things checked up, currently in my opinion she doesn't need any emergency treatment.
