Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
Knee joint pain with clicking sound is more suggestive of ligamental or meniscus injury.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and MRI of affected knee joint.
You may need immobilization for 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
