Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to sprain.
For further assessment you may require MRI knee after orthopedician consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally.
Heating pads also helps.
Use knee cap. Use support while walking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
