i would suggest you to get x ray of the knee joint and if possible then MRI also so diagnosis can be confirmed. There can be synovitis of the knee. Till you get your investigations, you can take these :
1. Diclofenac gel local application
2. Brufen tablet for pain relief.
3. compression bandage for swelling
4. Avoid squatting and sitting crossleg.
