Arthritis: Cases of arthritis are increasing not only in the elderly but also in children, what is the reason for this? Doctors told..

Arthritis (bone problems) can affect the entire body structure. It is usually known as a problem that occurs with aging, but recent data show that younger people, even children, are becoming victims of it. Health experts say that arthritis in children can affect their entire life.

Childhood arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is mainly considered by health experts as an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks healthy cells, which can cause inflammation and pain in the joints in children.

Some studies suggest that the condition of JIA can affect other parts of the body other than joints, such as eyes and kidneys. If it is not treated, it also increases the risk of many types of health related complications.

Cases of arthritis are increasing in children.

Recently, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) reported that every year 250-300 children are coming for treatment of arthritis problem. If the disease is genetic, then the risk of it increases further in children.

Regarding the increasing danger of the disease, doctors have appealed to people to be aware so that they do not wander here and there for treatment. Timely treatment and therapy can help in reducing the symptoms of arthritis.

Pediatric Rheumatic Disorder

Regarding the myths and facts related to pediatric rheumatic disorder in children, AIIMS doctors recently said that due to a lack of awareness, the treatment of most children is delayed. Due to this, the joints are permanently damaged. This disease affects not only the joints but also other parts of the body including the kidneys.

Since it is believed that arthritis occurs only with increasing age, its symptoms are not paid attention to in children, due to which they are not treated on time.

How to know if your child has also become a victim?

Health experts say that the symptoms of arthritis are seen in children just like in older people. However, a major reason for not detecting the disease on time is that children are unable to recognize their problems and are unable to complain of joint pain.
If your child often limps, especially in the morning, then this can be a sign of joint problems.
In the case of arthritis, swelling of the joints is common, apart from this, the joints of children can become more stiff.
Since the condition of arthritis in children can also increase problems in many other parts of the body, it is very important to detect and treat it in time.

During the treatment of juvenile arthritis, the main effort is to keep the child physically healthy and reduce pain. Doctors use medicines and therapy to relieve pain and swelling, to ensure that there is no difficulty in walking and the bones remain strong.
