What to do if i fell on my knee a few days ago and it still hurts and is very swollen. should i visit a doctor?

Yes.: See a non-surgical sports medicine specialist, who can determine the extent of your injury. The swelling could just be from bruising, or it can be an indicator that your did more serious damage.
