Sir if you have fever and not responding to medication. There must be possibility of infection in your body. I suggest to visit your doctor show him your swollen knee and start with antibiotic, anti inflammatory as well analgesic tablets. Also do use cold pack on your swollen knee as well cold patch on your forehead for reducing temperature in fever.
A d do proper blood test as well urine test to rule out any abnormality too. Take care.
