Hello. I am very anxious as since the past 2 months my 2 yrs old has swelling in her knee with limping and the doc took some tests also mentioned certain tests to rule out Juvenile rhemotoid arthritis her hemoglobin count is 9.5 and crp says positive 35mg/L
Hi...a swelling in a 2-year-old up to the point of making the kid limp and going on for 2 months should definitely be evaluated. Hemoglobin count of 9.5 and positive CRP doesn't signify that it is Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis. At the same time it is possibility. I have few questions for you - 1. Does she have any chronic or recurrent fever?2. Is there any other joint involvement?3. Is there any family history of rheumatoid arthritis or other chronic illnesses?4. Is there any rash over the body?5. Is there any jaundice or lass of appetite? You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below - www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
