I fell yesterday and my right leg took the full weight of my body. I can't stand or walk, and I cannot fully bend or extend my leg. The constant, dull pain is in my knee and ankle/shin area. I'm 23 years old and have taken Tylenol for the pain. What should I do?

I have a severe cough, especially at night while sleeping, accompanied by fever and chills after waking up. The symptoms subside during the day. I am allergic to dust and dog dander, and I am 29 years old with no other medical issues. The cough is wet, sometimes with a runny nose and sneezing, and it worsens at night but is not constant. I do not smoke. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?
