Brief Answer:
Blood counts suggested. Gurgling with lukewarm water should help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on healthcaremagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. But it is very difficult to comment without considering all details of the case simultaneously. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is indeed a possibility and it is possible for such a condition to be seronegative (nothing showing up in blood reports).

As of now, I would suggest gurgling with lukewarm water. That should help in resolution of the sore throat. Get his blood counts checked.

Hot compress would help in case of the body aches. Ask his doctor to consider immunosuppressives and disease modifying agents for treatment.
