Mild strain: ice and elevate it. If the swelling does not go down or pain develops see your doctor.

Lateral collateral: Could be a sprain lateral collateral ligament. See a physio for some exercise and stretching . Make sure there is no locking of the knee in which case a medical meniscal injury will be on the cards.
