The most prevalent form of arthritis in children under the age of 16 is juvenile idiopathic arthritis, formerly known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Some kids may have symptoms for only a few months, while others may have symptoms for the rest of their lives, due to juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which can cause chronic joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Treatment focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, enhancing function, and avoiding joint damage in some types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which can lead to serious complications like growth issues, joint damage, and eye inflammation.
