Get you knee evaluated clinically and with MRI. Recurrent swelling (heamarthrosis or hematoma ) is suggestive of intrarticular substance tear (menisci, ACL or PCL). Wear compressive crepe bandage. Apply ice packs locally . Medications like Enzomac and Tendocare will help. Keep affected limb elevated.

It is normal to have blood collection after trauma. no need for it to be removed, it will absorb it self. If pain increases consult ortho doctor.
