Your father's knee joint pain could be due to degeneration or ligament sprain. How long he is having knee pain? Both knees? Was it a gradual onset or sudden onset of pain?

He should give hot water fomentation to the affected site twice a day for 15-20 min.
He can use Volini gel or spray provided he is not allergic.
He should avoid floor sitting, frequent stair climbing, full squat.

If the pain persists or aggrevates he needs to consult a Physiotherapist or Orthopaedist for further evaluation and treatment.
