It would be best to go to the ER and I am no doctor but have dealt with swelling before. But if you don't want to do that ice everything from the knee down. I don't think you need to concentrate on any one area. Just be careful when you ice because ice directly on the skin can cause frostbite really easily. I have seen way too many people do that. Keep it elevated and rest and go to the doctor first thing in the morning. Call a friend or someone to come over and watch over you would be good too and would also be good incase you do decide to go to the ER.

Good way to remember what to do for swelling (RICE)
R - rest
I - ice
C - compress
E - elevate
