Experiencing Pain In The Left Knee

Hello. I have pain on the back of me left knee. I am only 16 years old. It started a few weeks back after playing Basketball, then seemed to have lessened in a week, and today again, after playing Basketball, it has come back. I can't seem to fully bend my knee without pain and also not walk/run freely.
Please give me some home methods to lessen the pain, and subsequently make my knee fir.
