What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Knees?

My 16 yr old daughter is just getting over mono. About a week ago her right knee started hurting and became swollen. She has had a X-ray and it was fine. But the pain and swelling continue even with rest ice and elevation. Now her whole right leg is swollen and painful.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis.
I suggest you to do a rheumatoid factor level to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, you can use noninflammatory medication for the pain and inflammation.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
