I have had infections and found that his has brought on flare ups in my RA. this is of coarse only a single persons observation. I would suggest that you have the infection seen to as quickly as possible and have him checked out for Arthritis. Especially RA as this can turn into a serious problem if left untreated.

∙ 11y agoI have Rheumatoid arthritis and have noticed that when I have some sort of infection I tend to be more prone to RA flare up. Interestingly enough in the area where the infection occurred. So in my opinion if your son is experiencing an arthritic flare up and the infection does not seem to be clearing up reasonably well by itself treating the infection with antibiotics would probably be a good idea. Keep in mind that the use o antibiotics should be done responsibly because over prescription of these drugs reduces their effectiveness as time goes by.
