Specializes in Pediatrics

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.
