What Could Cause Pale Face & Swelling Of Ankle?

Hi my daughter who is 11 has had a pale face for weeks now. We even went to the beach the other day and it is still pale. She was sick with the flu about a month ago I wonder if it was from that. I just noticed her ankles look swollen too. Your thoughts would be great. Thank you!

Hello dear,


I understand your concern. It seems your daughter has anaemia, you should check her blood test to rule off. Swollen ankles can be signs of reactive arthritis, proteins deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis. Proteinogram, tests for rheumatoid factor,ASLO,uric acid should be provided. Follow diet enriched Iron(apple, pomegranates, spinach,dates),proteins (curd,milk,dahi,eggs,chichen,dal,peas,radjma).
Hope I answered your queries,If you have more questions then don't hesitate to write us. I always happy to help.
