Along with doctors, families and teachers can help pick up cases of arthritis in children.
Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks.
Dr Betina Rogalski said "The younger the child the more difficult it into pick up the symptoms. If the child is small, it may just be a bit grumpy or pull its leg a way or not feel like walking,” she said.
According to The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases in US, the most common symptoms of juvenile arthritis are joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that doesn’t go away. Usually it affects the knees, hands, and feet, and it’s worse in the morning or after a nap.
Limping in the morning because of a stiff knee, excessive clumsiness, having a high fever and skin rash are other symptoms. Children may also have swelling in lymph nodes in the neck and other parts of the body.
Arthritis in children can cause eye inflammation and growth problems and can cause bones and joints to grow unevenly.
In the UK, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis.

• Ban fruit juice and sodas
• Eat a hearty breakfast that contains fats and wholegrains, such as peanut butter on multigrain toast or full-fat plain yoghurt with whole fruit and nuts, to avoid the need for a 10am snack
• Give young children plain yoghurt with whole fruits mashed into it
• Reduce the number of cakes, biscuits and sweets. Reserve them for a treat
• Don’t eat dessert every day 
• Make your own smoothies. Always use the whole fruit to maintain the benefit of its fibre content and don’t add any sweeteners
• Always go for natural whole foods over processed, packaged foods. Ask yourself would your grandmother have eaten it?
• Read food labels if you really do feel the need to buy processed food
• Eat everything in moderation
