Patient's question:
The child is nine years old this year, and the symptoms were discovered last year! They have been treated at their hometown's small rural hospital. After a year of treatment, there has been minimal improvement! One leg is longer than the other! The buttocks, palms, and legs are asymmetrical! One side is larger than the other!Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons, such as hip arthritis, joint effusion, lumbar spine disease compressing nerves, femoral head necrosis, and many other diseases can cause the same symptoms, so it is not possible to determine the specific illness based on the symptoms alone. For the same illness, treatment plans and recovery outcomes vary depending on the stage. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
