Suggest Treatment For Arthritis In A Child

Get opinion from another doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I understand your concern.
In arthritis there should be pain and swelling along with limping.
In present condition where there is sudden onset of weakness in lower limb without any pain and swelling in joint,I would like to get her clinically examined to rule out any neurological deficit.There are few neurological condition(like acute motor axonal neuropathy) where weakness can appear during/after recovery from viral illness.
Also I would like to get serum potassium level done as hypokalemia can also cause weakness.
So I would suggest you to reevaluation by your physician or get opinion from a different doctor.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Wishing for your child's speedy recovery.
Regards


This weakness is most probably due to the injury
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up
In presence of significant history of injury and bruise,it is the more likely cause of limping.I suggested you to visit a physician for clinical evaluation as you didn't mention this history earlier.
I would like to continue giving analgesic and observe for any worsening or improvement in symptom.
In case the weakness or swelling progresses consult your physician.
Wishing for your child's good health.
Regards
