Hi I have a 7year old with constant abdominal pain complained of be Being dizzy & sore joints & head this is an ongoing problem With his tummy & joint pain but dizziness is new. He was referred to consultant 3months ago and they want to See him again for a review next month . He is a lot worse now & he Suffers from Astma & allergies . What will I do???
First of all, a more detailed history regarding abdominal pain needs to be taken. If this pain is associated with food intake or has a timing, it could very well be an isolated diagnosis with no connection with other complaints. Also if he otherwise gets a sound sleep at night, it may not be serious.
Yes sore joints is certainly a cause of concern. The number of joints involved, the duration of complaints, the areas involved will all help in treating the Arthritis. A differential diagnosis of JIA should be kept in mind.
An eye check up should be followed by cosultation with a Pediatric Rheumatologist.
