Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain In A Child

My daughter is 11 years and 5 months old. She is suffering from knee pain. She has ASO +ve, CRP +ve (28.8), ESR (40). Doctor prescribed Ezact 90 for her for 2 months. Is it antibiotic or pain killer? Should I give it to this small kid? Is there any side effect?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is a selective COX-2 inhibitor,which belongs to pain killers.
The most common negative effect on stomach,that's why better take strictly after meal and with milk to neutralize acidity; rarely it can cause allergy,but if he would have following up side effects you can stop giving him medication in any time.
You also should give him antibiotic-Amoxiclave 500 mg twice a day for 10 days, Darolac Z 1 capsule once a day,allegra 1 tablet once a day for 10 days.
