Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your daughter got soft tissue injury knee. I think she also has some hematoma collection inside knee. Treatment of it is rest ,icing and analgesics (diclofenac ). Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. However you can get her x ray and MRI of knee done to exclude fracture and ligament injuries. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
