What Causes Inflammation In The Knees Of 10 Year Old?

My 10 year old son has been having inflammation/pain in his knee. He is about 20kgs in weight (always slow weight gain) with multiple food and environmental allergies. Besides, he also has digestive issues (excess smelly gas when he eats certain foods), and also High Functioning Autism. His doctor would like to rule out arthritis and has ordered some tests. How does homeopathy help children with auto-immune issues. My son has been on Homeopathy since he was 6months old for various symptoms. Thanks

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear parent,
As per your description, the child has multiple problems. Kindly go ahead with investigations and required medication.
As far as homeopathy is concerned, you may try some one good, but they always say that initially symptoms will flair up, and they do. Which is not at all good for any child. They also ask to stop any medication you are giving at present which may again be a problem for you and the child.
If there is no relief from homeopathy, then you will have to start from zero again.
For digestive problems your doctor and dietitian shall be of help.
