I was deadlifting and dropped a weight it on my knee, swelling is down but i have fluid build up above my knee now. should i do compression therapy?

Avoid reinjury: Compression will not hurt, but the process of healing will still take several weeks. Be gentle and do not reinjure the area that was hurt to avoid prolonging the healing process.
