According to a study, 8.5 people per thousand and four children per thousand are suffering from rheumatism and rheumatic diseases in Bangladesh.

What is rheumatism?
It is often seen that children often have fever. Fever causes pain in the body and swelling of the joints. At one time a large knot or many knots can be affected at the same time. Once it happens again and again. Inflammation of the heart is the most common symptom of knee pain. This inflammation is not so easy for the common man to understand. But what a normal person can understand is that the child has frequent fever, palpitations, shortness of breath, the child does not want to eat and so on. Since the child often has a fever and is reluctant to eat, the child's health deteriorates within a few days, the child becomes dehydrated and does not gain weight as expected. It is often seen that the child has a sore throat before having this type of fever. The fever usually affects children between the ages of five and 15. Rheumatoid arthritis is very rare in children under four years of age or over 22 years of age.
