Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that there might be some inflammatory selling in your knee. To differentiate from an infection you should undergo CBC, ESR, CRP. for inflammation, you should Take warm compress, NSAIDs, and have an x-ray done to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
