Hi...you are right...if its only single joint it is highly unlikely to be a Rheumatic fever. More so we should have to consider the possibility of -
1. Reactive arthritis
2. Septic arthritis
3. Pauci articular rheumatoid arthritis (this is different form rheumatic fever).
I suggest you seek your paediatrician's help with these tips.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
