Does this warrant a GP appointment?

DC2 has a sore knee. No injury she can think of but its been sore enough to cause her a bit of a limp for the past few days. I've been given Nurofen morning and night which helps but we're reaching day 3 so I can't continue to medicate her.

She swims (swam yesterday with her bad knee) and also does gymnastics and ballet that I'll cancel this coming week as she isn't up to it.

At what point does it become necessary to see a GP? And realistically what can they do?

No swelling or bruising, she's fine in herself. Hurts mainly when she uses the stairs (we have a lot of bloody stairs though)

Have been icing as well but that wasn't helping.

**when I say limp I mean more she doesn't have her full range of movement. She is keeping her leg straight when she walks.

Could be Osgood-Schlatters - she should see a GP.

On our GPS website they give you the details to self refer for physio.
