Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma to knee. For further assessment you may require MRI knee after orthopedician consultation. For pain you can take tablet Acetaminophen. Apply Diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
In case of fluid collection, you may require aspiration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
