How do you help heal an hyperextended knee?


How do you help heal an hyperextended knee?I hyperextended my knee and it really hurts. Is there anything i can do to help it heal?
I'm at a theater camp this week, is it possible I hurt it from alot of dancing?

alter ice and heat packs with complete rest the first few days...stay totally off it except to go to the bathroom. Then gradually move a tiny bit more each day as it becomes comfortable to do so. See a doctor regularly with something this serious.

This happened to me all the time playing football. Ice it for as long as you can. DO NOT HEAT! Stay off of it as much as you can and eat some Ibuprofen or Motrin, it will help the internal swelling diminish. If you do this, you should be better in a week or so
