Juvenile arthritis has become quite common today as children too can get arthritis with an occurrence of 1 in 10,000. Symptoms include persistent joint pain wherein pain and place varies with time depending on the child&#039;s activity. Children with arthritis show consistent pain at the same place. Another symptom is morning stiffness wherein a child walks like an old man in the morning and body stiffness reduces as the day progresses. If not treated on time, swelling is seen around joints thereby affecting its mobility. Systemic onset juvenile arthritis shows fever. Infection in joints may also lead to fever and the child appears unwell. Dr. Chandrika Bhat, pediatrician from Bangalore, speaks on juvenile arthritis.
