If by chance it gives sharp shoorting pains when walking down stairs then I'd recommend physiotherapy + heat and ultrasound then gentle repetative exercise.
Worked for me after too much badminton from a standing start.

Knees (and joints in general) should be treated with respect as their ability to self repair is limited. Go see a decent physio who deals with sports injuries and get some advice.

Depends.
If it isn't swollen, then i wouldn't worry too much, just ease off the training for a couple of weeks anf take ibuprofen for the pain 400mgms if and when necessary OR go and see woofy's physio,

If there is some swelling (compare the 2 knees) then you will need to see your GP.
