Hi...a swelling in a 2 year old up to the point of making the kid limp and going on for 2 months should definitely be evaluated. Hemoglobin count of 9.5 and positive CRP doesn't signify that it is Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis. At the same time it is possibility. I have few questions for you -
1. Does she have any chronic or recurrent fever?
2. Is there any other joint involvement?
3. Is there any family history of rheumatoid arthritis or other chronic illnesses?
4. Is there any rash over the body?
5. Is there any jaundice or lass of appetite?
