Is Tylenol Advisable For Swollen Knee Caused After An Injury?

I fell down stairs and significantly injured my knee earlier today. I ve had a gradually increasing temperature since. Now 37.7. I don t see any indications of cellulitis anywhere and I seem to be healthy otherwise. Do I just take some Tylenol and wait until tomorrow? I have done comprising wrapping on my leg to keep the swelling down and am intermittently walking/elevating as I m a physiotherapist.

I read your question and understood your concern.
