Patient's question:
The child fell, and the outside of their leg was injured. On the third day, they said their leg hurt. By the third day, they were playing with the other children, saying that walking didn't hurt anymore, but running still did a little. After another day, I asked if it still hurt, and they said it didn't. Now it's been a week, and they're walking with a limp, but there's no pain anywhere. They can run quite fast, but they still walk with a limp. I want to know what caused it.Doctor's answer:
This situation may still be because the child was used to walking this way before, so even after the leg pain has improved, they may continue to walk like this. You can correct their posture and encourage them to walk more slowly. If it still doesn't improve, you can take them to the orthopedics department for a check-up and gently press the area to see if there is any pain. This concludes the introduction to "What should I do if my child's leg hurts on the outside after falling?" Finally, we wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
