Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.

Consult physiotherapist to take treatment with electro-modalities for pain relief. After the pain subsides, do exercises to strengthen your muscles (quadriceps, hamstring, hip abductors). This will help to prevent strain on knee joint and recurrence of pain.
Health Tips
Avoid standing or walking for long duration, instead take breaks in between. Avoid crossed leg sitting, squatting and staircase climbing. If you are obese, try to reduce your weight.
