Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Her symptoms shows that she is experiencing muscular aches, that are caused by a virus.
To determine the exact cause a physical examination of the knee is necessary.
In these cases the following test are necessary, too:
1. Rapid strep test to rule out acute rheumatic fever.
2. Complete blood count.
3. Fibrinogen test.
4. Anti-streptolysin O test.
5. Urine test.
Contact a rheumatologist.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
