Infection: Is definitely possible in above described scenario and is somewhat typical for preceding events. Other reasons for your knee inflammation cannot be ruled out. A focused physical exam with your doc along with detailed history would be your best next step as an infection has to be ruled out timely.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If you suspect infection. it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
