Ice them well, stretch well, maybe a week if it isn't a bad injury. But for any knee injury I would highly recommend going to see your doctor or a sports medicine doctor to get it evaluated. Knee injuries can end most careers for any sport. If you don't take good care of your knees and continue to abuse them you can get to the point of never even being able to run/jog again. It's definitely in your best interests to be evaluated by a professional as soon as possible.
And do me a favor, only go to the two doctors I listed above, don't go to the ER. We ER staff members don't like it since it isn't an emergency

Try using knee straps also known as jumper knee straps
They can help relieve some of the pain for constant jumping and/or running
but if it continues, head to your Doc!

Dont risk anything. I would take it easy for a couple more days and if it persists definatly talk to your doctor.
