Knee injury: The best answer would be "Depends". It depends on how severe the injury it, it could be just a bump or a torn ligament. If the pain has continued more than 2-4 weeks and if there is any swelling, redness etc, you should see an orthopedic surgeon for proper evaluation. He can advise on further treatment options.
