Medial collateral ligament tear will require surgical intervention
If left untreated will lead to Valgus instability with early progression to Osteoarthritis
Rest all our sprains which will recover on their own
Next Steps
visit a Orthopaedics surgeon and get urself evaluated at the earliest
would recommend a good sports injury center for further treatment
Tab Nucoxia MR twice a day and tab pantop once a day (before food) for pain management

Near full thickness tear of your MCL ligament warrants examination and repair/reconstruction..
Deficiency of MCL would put a strain on existing sprained ligaments..So avoid walking on the MCL deficient knee to prevent further damage..
If your knee is protected well..The other injuries should heal well.
Next Steps
consultation with Orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination..
