thanks for your query. It’s obligatory for you to see some local doctor.
I would advise you to take X-ray of your joint (PA and lateral view) to rule out any fracture.
Meanwhile you can take
• Ibuprofen
• Bandage on your knee
• Tablet Naproxen Sodium 550 mg BD
If you don’t get relief,plz let me know on pakheim@gmail.com pakheim@yahoo.com
Hoping that you will get benefit from my advice.
My prayers are with you.
Thanks and best regards.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This is hematoma ( contusion) due to blunt injury.
Ice pack and ibuprofen is the best step .
Rest & immobilization just for 4-5 day provide relief .
Beside this you can take serratiopeptidase 10 mg twice in day as this will resolve swelling.
Good luck.
