Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello there,

Thank you for choosing healthcaremagic.

I would like to ask you a few questions to be able to better answer you.
Have you injured your knee recently: either after a fall or playing some sports game.
Have you noticed any swelling also behind the knee or any redness.

If so or if your pain is unbearable or preventing you from doing daily activities, you might have to get your doctor to examine you.

Hope you feel better.

Best wishes.
Dr. Sumeet.
