Synovitis: yes, it is but you should have your child examined to be sure it is in fact synovitis and not a more serious infection

Knee pain: Children often have leg pains and foot pains after or during a viral infection. If there is no swelling or limp, it is not likely to be transient synovitis, which is fairly dramatic.
