Hello,
She may be draining of fluid still lead to wetting of dressing. Swelling of knee joint means it is infected or collection of fluid.
Also, rule out septic arthritis. Elevate the limb use cold and warm compression, use tablet naprosyn twice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
