Local care first.: Following trauma to the knee, the knee will swell for several reasons including soft tissue injury which results in an inflammatory reaction leading to fluid accumulation and also bleeding from injured veins in the area which also lead to swelling. The initial treatment is ice, elevation, nsaids and ace wrap. If this doesn't help then see a physician.
