General & Family Physician, Dr. Albana Sejdini's Response

Hello,

I usually recommend my patients to apply chopped onion mixed with coarse salt for a few days until swelling is down. Apply analgesic cream, and alternating warm and cold compresses. Avoid movement of the knee until improvement. Knee joint compressor brace can help.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
