Can Synovitis Cause Pain In The Knee And Hands Of Children?

My 6 year old daughter often gets toxic synovitis after having a cold. It is usually pain in her thy but this time she is complaining of pain in her knee and hands. I can't find anything that would explain the pain in her hands and I'm wondering if it is associated with the synovitis or her cold in any way.

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

Actually from your given history i think your daughter may have a kind of rheumatoid arthritis that is commonly related to common cold especially with children .
For my patients i may suggest some laboratory investigations to properly diagnose such cases with blood tests like ASOT ( anti streptolysin o titre ) , Rheumatoid factor Rf , ESR ( erothrocyte sedimentation rate ) , CRP to properly diagnose such cases .
Treatments include Antibacterial like pinicillin , antipyretics like paracetamol , and topical gels for painful joints .

Please click and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health,
Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
