  https://www.pmmonline.org/doctor/limping-child/key-conditions/hip-disorders/transient-synovitis-of-the-hip/

  Transient synovitis, also known as irritable hip, is a common cause of acute hip pain in young children. It is a self-limiting condition, but is a diagnosis of exclusion and especially to exclude septic arthritis. Patients tend to be systemically well, with normal or mildly elevated inflammatory markers. Limp is invariably present, often with pain. Management involves rest and analgesia, with mobilisation once pain has settled. The condition usually resolves within 2 weeks. It is imperative to exclude infection of the bone or joint. Septic arthritis is more likely if the child is unwell, febrile (above 38) and there are raised inflammatory markers and white cell count. Kocher’s rules can be helpful to differentiate septic arthritis at the hip joint from transient synovitis. […] An orthopaedic review is needed if there is not a complete recovery. In such cases, the child must be fasted and immediately prepared for hip puncture and possibly joint lavage under general anaesthesia.
