What Is The Reason For The Child Having A Swollen Knee Which Hurts To Bend?
my nine year old has a swollen knee. He doesn't play sports and was not injured.it hurts on the knee cap but he says it also hurts behind the knee,It hurts to bend and he will take off for the bus hobbling b/c he wont bend it. This has been occurring for a while now only in the morning and then seems fine later in the day. Yesterday he woke up in tears and is visibly swollen today.
thanks for your question. well kindly look for any of the following things 1. if child ever had fever prior swelling 2. any diarrohea, rash few days back or recently any abdominal pain. 3. any other joint with similar complaints simultaneous or sequential. 4. any eyesight problem... 5. any breathing problems or palpitations also we need some blood tests like blood count, esr , crp and some antibodies like ana , anti jo anti la. simple bursitis will have pain throughout a day. so most likely other disorders are to be ruled out. kindly show to a rheumatologist. mean while you can start simple ibugesic.
