Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and rest. If the symptoms continue, you should do a X-ray of the knee for further evaluation. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
