One way to : Find out would be to tap the joint and send needle aspirate to lab. I have had a handful of pediatric patients with gout. So, it is possible.

Rare: It would be rare at that age but not impossible. There are some individuals who have genetics factors predisposing them to very high serum uric acid levels. These high uric acid levels can cause gout at a young age. A simple blood test will measure the uric acid level.
