There is probably some fluid collection in your knee which is called effusion. It could be due to reactive arthritis following typhoid fever. It should settle spontaneously in about 3 months. If not then further investigations will be required.

Post enteric fever some do feel joint pain for few days to week. However you have nothing to worry about it. If you have recovered completely from your typhoid then try some walking and some stretching exercises which should help (physiotherapist)
