Did you know that children can get arthritis? Most parents don't, so when symptoms arise, they often chalk them up to something harmless that will pass. But this can delay the diagnosis of an aggressive autoimmune disease, leading to blindness, bone issues, and even death. Here are the signs and symptoms that the Arthritis National Research Foundation says should prompt a consult with your child's pediatrician:
▸ Swelling
▸ Joint pain
▸ Stiffness
▸ Fever
▸ Rash
▸ Fatigue
▸ Loss of appetite
▸ Inflammation of the eye
▸ Difficulty with daily living activities such as walking, dressing, and playing
