ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣಿಸುವ ನೋವು – ಸಂಧಿವಾತ ಇರಬಹುದಾ?| Dr Chengappa K G. MD, DM |Rheumatologist

Описание: It is a common misconception that arthritis and autoimmune diseases only affect adults and the elderly. However, this audio explains that arthritis can affect children from a very early age, sometimes as young as one year old.

Because small children cannot always clearly express their pain, it is vital for parents to be observant. This video covers crucial symptoms to watch out for, including:

Limping or changing their walking style.

A sudden disinterest in playing or interacting with other children.

Waking up with severe morning crankiness and bodily stiffness.

Unexplained joint swelling (in hands, knees, or legs) lasting for more than a month without any history of a fall.

The doctor also briefly touches on specific conditions like Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Juvenile Lupus, and Juvenile Dermatomyositis, emphasizing that parents should not dismiss these signs as laziness. If you notice these symptoms, it is highly recommended to consult a pediatrician or a rheumatologist for proper treatment.
