Knee Pain

Back in May I had awful IT band / outer knee pain and was off running for about 6 weeks. Now that I’ve eased back into it & been doing hip strengthening exercises, my inner knee of the same leg is experiencing slight pain. It doesn’t hurt while running but is a little achey and then is a sharper pain while walking around. Are these related / what can I do to eradicate the pain & stop it from coming back?
