Hello,
An x-ray is good for the knee to rule out any bony injury.
Since you are travelling it's advised to use the knee brace along with ankle brace or crepe bandage to avoid the swelling to increase.
Post coming back get the x-ray of the knee and follow the instructions of treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
