Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice. It may be due to blunt trauma.

For further assessment you may require MRI knee after orthopedician consultation.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

You may require aspiration after orthopedician consultation.

Use knee cap. Avoid strenuous activity.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further...

Regards,
