What Is Pediatric Rheumatology?
Pediatric Rheumatology deals with joint and immune diseases that affect children and teenagers. Many young patients suffer from unexplained pain, swelling, stiffness, or recurring fevers. Dr. Upendra Rathore offers expert care for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term support for kids and their families in Indore.
Conditions We Treat in Children
Early diagnosis in kids is key to preventing complications. We treat a range of childhood autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including:
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
The most common childhood rheumatic disease, causing joint swelling and stiffness.
Pediatric Lupus & Myositis
Autoimmune conditions that affect multiple organs including skin, muscles, and kidneys.
Chronic Uveitis
Eye inflammation often linked with arthritis — needs regular screening and treatment.
Recurrent Fevers & Inflammation
When fevers return without infection — it could point to an autoinflammatory disorder.
Growing Pains vs. True Disease
We help parents know the difference and avoid delays in real treatment.
