Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Vulva pain, redness, swelling all these symptoms are looking like due to a local infection like fungal (candida) or a Dizziness and shaky feeling are due to presence of a urinary tact infection probably.

Painful joints with swelling of knee joint may be a part of reactive arthritis which is commonly associated with urinary tract infections in children.

Is child having fever, frequency of urination, or burning while urination? Please provide this information in your next query.

Child needs physical examination by Pediatrician followed by the investigations like complete urine examination and urine for culture and sensitivity to look for urinary tract infection.

I advise you to give plenty of oral fluids and water.

For knee pain, you can give paracetamol in prescribed dosage.

And consult the Pediatrician for physical examination of the child and further investigation.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.

Hi,

Thank you for getting back.

When the last urine test was done?

What is the last visit for her complaints and what was her Pediatrician opinion on her complaints?

But persistence of these complaints for a duration of 4 years is very much significant.

And painful joints and swelling of knee also requires proper work up.

Collagen vascular disease like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus usually present with similar complaints of joint pains with joint swelling and in lupus there will be mucosal involvement.

As the persistence of symptoms for almost 4 years of vulva pain, redness, and swelling with painful joints and knee joint swelling requires physical examination and further investigations.

Therefore I advise you to consult your Pediatrician.
