Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and seen the attached picture here is my advice.
I think you should get further evaluated in order to find what can be the cause of the swelling, redness and warmness on the knees.
You have done rheumatoid factor test but you may also need to do uric acid levels in blood because it can be related to gout or pseudogout and also a x-ray of the knee or better an MRI to see the conditions of the joint ind of fluid is accumulated there.
Use anti-inflammatory drugs such Advil or naproxen for pain and swelling. Use cold compresses on it to relieve swelling and redness. Keep the knee at rest and elevated.
Hope I have answered the question.
