Swellingn in knee

2017-05-10 14:51:41
I fell from the stairs and developed a clot near my knee. Its been 2 weeks since, the clot is reducing but the swelling seems to still be there. I have mild pain. But it seems like there is some fluid below the swelling and its been the same for 2 weeks. What should i do. Should i drain the fluid at a hospital or will it subside on its own.
