Hi, immobilization or rest of the knee is the most vital apart from ice packs/cold compress and pain killers, in your case!
There is local bleeding and formation of a hematoma but you are not at risk of blood clots elsewhere in the body...
If it worries you much then have an X-ray and go for aspiration of the blood within the swelling and revert back to us if necessary.
wish you good health!
