Ice pack?: If this is from a minor injury, ice pack + NSAID may help. But if you have any tendon tear, you will need to consult an orthopedist. Try the above measures (keep off the affected knee) for a few days. If it fails to improve or worsen after that, better to consult an orthopedic surgeon who specializes on diseases of the knees.
