Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Knee After An Accident

Yesterday, I slid on my steps and hit my knee against the doorway hard. At first it was hard to move, but after a few minutes I could bend it and walk normally. It has become swollen and after a night of sleep, it is still swollen. There is not much pain except when I go up and down steps. I am a dancer and have had knee pain before which I was told was growing pain, so I was wondering if I should be concerned about this or if I should wait to see what happens?
