Huge swelling in the knee, can't walk

2017-07-06 15:25:49
I'm having huge swelling on my knee. Last day I slipped just normally but due 2 months old ligament injury, there was high pain and in a night my knee swelled at upper side of kneecap. Today I showed it to the normal doctor not an orthopedist. He gave me the medicine but swell is as it was. Suggest me a medicine for reducing swelling.
