Hi
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Is it (warmth) behind the knee or upper part of back of thigh?
The most likely reason for localized raised temperature is soft tissue/joint Infection.Do you have any painful restriction of knee movement please share?
My suggestion is-Get blood test like complete blood count and CRP.For the time being you may do Ice fomentation,Pain killer like Ibuprofen.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
