Tear will remain as it is. As long as knee is a stable no need for surgery. Strength your quads and hamstring.

Partial tear may or may not improve with time. Physiotherapy, mainly hamstring strengthening can help you.
Next Steps
physiotherapy is the next logical step.
Health Tips
if instability (walking on uneven/slippery surface becomes difficult) persists after a month or two then you may need a surgical procedure
