Juvenile rhumetoid arthritis 18 months old baby

My 18-months-old son has been just diagnosed with Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. He has the following symptoms: swollen right knee (swelling is lees in the morning), his anckle starts to swell by the afternoon too. He is limping first coupple of hours after he wakes up then the limp is getting better. He also rubs his yes a lot as of pain. His diet is all organic and diverse. He was breastfed until he was 11 months old. We haven't started any medications yet, except rhus toxicodendron - 3 pellets 3 times a day and 1 tsp of fish oil. Can anybody, please, advise us on the future course of action. I appreciate your help!

I have had Juvenile rhumetoid arthritis now for about 4 years. im 16 and i have flare ups in my right knee and both hips. when my joints flare i usually have steroid injections into the joint. depending on how bad the arthritis is anti inflammatory drugs can be prescribed. im on one of the best drugs available 'etanercept' i havent had a flare up in a year but the down side is the etancercept needs to be self injected twice a week. hope this has helped slightly

two doses of Silicea 3X taken for some months may show some relief.
