About Pediatric Rheumatology
Paediatric rheumatology treats arthritis and autoimmune diseases in children. A child with swollen joints, limping or stiffness in the morning for more than six weeks should be assessed.
Juvenile arthritis can also inflame the eyes, so regular eye checks are needed. Early treatment helps children stay active and grow normally.
