Needs appt: Anytime a child stops weight bearing especially close to an infection they MUST be seen. It may be an irritation in the joint fluid due to the immune response of infection but it could also be a true infection in the joint - which is an emergency in children. Contact your MD tomorrow for appt. Bring this article. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3865125/
