A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my 3 yo knee and ankle are very painful one week after a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Joint pain: Joint pain after an infection can be concerning. The biggest concern would be something like rheumatic fever caused by a strep infection - left untreated the consequences can be severe. Take your child to their pediatrician for complete evaluation and laboratory testing.
