Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I always have trouble sleeping at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What could be the reason for my child's heel pain?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Boy, 10 years old, experiencing heel pain for over half a month, with a possible diagnosis of calcaneal fracture.Advice: The symptoms of calcaneal fracture are not typical. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and take plain radiographs of the calcaneus from different positions to rule out fractures for peace of mind. The positions should include anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique views, with comparison between the left and right sides.
Doctor's Inquiry: Does both heels hurt or just one? There are many causes of growing pains. If the child is confirmed to have growing pains, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including dietary decompression and maintaining good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
