What Causes Knee Pain In Children?
My daughter is 2yrs old and has Flu A for 7 days and refuses to walk. She says that her knee hurt and she can t do it (walk). I took her to the doctor and they visiually examined her a said it was probably related to the Flu. When should I be concerned? She won t even play on her favorite slide. Very concerned

It is hard to comment without examining the child. But it could be related to muscle fatigue that may follow an episode of flu. It could also be due to growing pain as the growth involves remodelling of the ends of long bones. In either case I would not really get concerned. But remaining under the follow up of your treating physician is advisable.
