Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat And Swelling In Knee
My 5 year old has had strep throat 5 times in the past couple years. Recently I took her to ER weeks after having strep, because her knee had been swollen & painful, then her other leg, then her wrist. They said the strep/antibodies attacked her joints & was migrating from joint to joint. Can you explain this?

Hi,
I have studied your case,
There is possibility of infection spreading through blood in to knee joint leading to pain .
I will advise clinical examination
And blood investigation to confirm it ,yes it can be due to blood clot.
If still diagnosis is not confirm MRI will help in diagnosis along with ultrasound of knee.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
