What Could Be The Remedy For Fall Associated Knee Pain And Swelling?

Last week while i was playing basketball, i landed badly on my knee It has swollen a lot and it pains a lot. From last 5-6 days i am applying some spray to my knee to avoid swelling , but till now it has not gone. I was also applying hot water on my knee to reduce swelling and pain , but it did nt worked. So from last 3 days i have started applying ice packs on my knee 3-4 times a day and i am keeping my knee elevated . So now what others things i should do to recover my injury , because next week , i am having a tournament and i have to play in that . So can u please tell me what more remedies should i do to reduce swelling and pain

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You had injury over your knee after fall.
Now at present your knee movement is painful & there also swelling present.
so you might be having soft tissue injury over your knee.
so a x-ray of right knee & ankle is required & treatment plan acc. to that.
In the meanwhile you may apply ice pack locally along with analgesic gel for symptomatic relief. You can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief along with pantoprazole tablets.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
