∙ 15y agono, I would wait till the knee starts to hurt and when it does you SHOULD/NEED to see a doctor about it and also don't mess with the knee when it does start to hurt and if it even does start to hurt as well. If it does have a Infection in the knee now, and it doesn't hurt, you need to get something done.
