HI.
This is classical synovitis.
It is best to consult the Orthopedic surgeon.
If this is because of simple inflammation , will settle with antiinflammatory medicines for 7 to 10 days.
Try to give knee the rest.
IF the condition persists or recurs after 10 days , it is better to do MRI and may be FNAC or Biopsy to rule out any sinister problem
