How to deal with left thigh pain in a 9-year-old child

Patient's question:

My child called a part in the middle of the left thigh painful yesterday.

Doctor's answer:

Consider the possibility of growing pains. Growing pains are a temporary physiological phenomenon related to growth and development, generally not requiring treatment. Local massage or heat application can be used during pain episodes. If the pain occurs frequently and is severe, oral salicylate pain relievers can be taken. If the pain persists after medication, further medical examination is necessary to rule out pathological pain or other conditions.
