Need more info: You are obviously seeing a pediatrician for this. Without a full history and the ability to examine your baby and review its medical records it would be incredibly inappropriate to attempt a diagnosis over the internet. Discuss with you pediatrician, and if not fully satisfied ask for a referral to pediatric rheumatologist for second opinion. Good luck and hope your child feels better soon.

Fever, ESR, pain: If the joints are swollen, then this could be JRA, but if the joints are normal, than a high sed rate and musculoskeletal pain and fever could all be signs of other conditions. The possibilities are broad and can include infection and other conditions. With these symptoms, cancer should be ruled out as well.
