Hi....I understand your concern.
1. Rheumatic fever.
2. Systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
3. Prolonged viral illness with reactive arthritis.
4. Lymphoreticular neoplasm.
5. Enteric fever.
6. Leptospirosis
These are the possible differential diagnoses which crossed my mind on going through the minimal information provided.
