wait and watch

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

I saw the message. Normally post trauma knee pain stays atleast for 1 week due to muscle injury over knee.Clean the abrasion over knee daily with dettol or betadine solution.You can continue the medication for 4 days.
If there is any swelling and unable to move your knee then take an x-ray knee to rule out fracture.
You can apply Sumo spray also.

Regards,
Dr VSK
