How Can Pain And Inflammation On The Knee Be Treated?

I hit my knee in the corner of my coffee table a couple of days ago. Now my knee is very painful, red, swollen and hot to the touch. I’ve been icing it as my as I could, but is not getting better, it feels to me that is getting worse. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It might be a minor contusion. You can take analgesics like ibuprofen or diclofenac for pain. Anti inflammatory drugs like seratiopeptidase can also be taken. If the pain persists take an MRI scan to rule out tendon or ligament involvement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
