Suggest Remedy For Painful Knees Post Cellulitis Treatment

My husband had cellulitis in his knee and treated it with antibiotics. It has been gone for about 3 months now but he ca not lean on his knee at all and says that it feels like there is a lump under his knee cap? Is there something he can do to make it better? Does he need to go back to the doctor?
