About Pediatric Rheumatologist Speciality

If your child has complaints of pain in the musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles, bones, or tendons), other symptoms of arthritis, or an autoimmune disorder, your pediatrician may recommend a paediatric rheumatologist.
A paediatric/pediatric rheumatologist works with a paediatrician/pediatrician or family physician to evaluate and treat a variety of joint, muscle, and bone disorders such as arthritis, autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, evaluation of prolonged fever, unexplained complaints of chronic musculoskeletal pain, weakness, poor appetite, possible inflammatory disease and more.
Paediatric rheumatologists know how to examine a child and understand how to gain the child’s confidence and cooperation to the best of the child’s developmental abilities.
