What Causes Pain In The Hip, Knee And Ankle?

Polyarthritis. Needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
It is possible that your granddaughter could be having arthritis of the joints. Common causes at her age include Rheumatoid arthritis and Seronegative spondarthropathy.
It is better to get her examined by a Rheumatologist to rule them out. Instead of Tylenol, you could try Tablet Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day for 7 days after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole 20mg twice a day for 7 days before meals. This will have better anti inflammatory effect.
She needs blood tests like compete blood count, Rheumatoid factor, CRP, ESR, ALSO.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu

The medication you mentioned can definitely cause gastritis and stomach upset but this can occur with any other medication as well and isn't specific.
