Locally applied Ibuprofen gel to ease the swelling - it's better to put it on the outside regularly rather than subject your tum to more aspirin products than necessary, and it'll get right to the point its needed. Also, like Jail* said, get hot and cold compresses on it. Keep it elevated and see if you can get hold of a knee bandage - tubigrips are good if the strain isn't too bad, otherwise you may need something sturdier, which I would recommend you see a doctor for.
Arnica cream (homeopathic) is also good for strains and bruising, and can be applied at the same time as Ibuprofen gel.

Initially to reduce the swelling rest, ice, compression and elevation as with all sports injuries. After the swelling has reduced, to help the healing process warmth such as saunas or warm heat pads (not too hot). If you wear a support try to do without it as soon as possible and try to walk as normally as possible to help the injury repair correctly. If in doubt see a physiotherapist.

first rest second not bearing weight
third if itpast more than a 6 hours warm it it will help muscle and tissue to have beter circulation
if not put some cold or icy patch on it to redece irritation and inflammation ,
it is beter to refer to Physicina to have examination but anti inflamation can help to reuce infllmation and pain as well
wear a some cover around your knee

alternate hot and cold compresses. first a heating pad, then a bag of frozen peas. the heat causes the blood to flow to the pain source faster, the cold will reduce swelling. take Ibuprofen, not tylenol

If you do not know what is wrong ask your doctor to make a diagnosis.
