Fever plus bump on knees
two days ago my sister came home from next door next to a bump on her knee that was red and a disorientation, and my mom wanted to wait and see if her hallucination would go down and today, she just looked at my sisters piece again, and its purple. I asked her why she hasnt teken her to a doctor yet and shes all approaching " i wanted to see if her fever would jump down, and it has" but ya, im not there, im on vaca like 7 hours away visit one of my aunts, and i dont even live there
what would it be?
Answer: Well, I would have her to the doctor right away.. Staph or mrsa infection can bring back into the knee joint, see it 3 times this year. the fever would indicate infection ---antibiotics are in lay down for sure!

It sounds like she has an infection contained by her knee. I would clean it out near peroxide and put an antibiotic ointment on it and it should be okay. If it isn't better in a couple days, or if confusion or redness returns she should take her to the doctor right away for treatment. She is sick and bumped her knees. No big deal.
