Patient's question:
On May 6th, I went to the hospital due to a cold and fever. I received one injection, but I still had a low-grade fever.On May 7th, I went to the hospital again. The doctor said the low-grade fever wasn’t a serious issue and told me to rest at home. Now, the cold and fever have improved.
On the morning of May 9th, while walking about 2 meters, I suddenly cried out in pain and couldn’t walk anymore. I couldn’t stand steadily. At first, my knee and hip joints hurt, but later only my hip joint remained painful. To this day, only my hip joint still hurts. I’ve been too afraid to walk and can’t stand steadily.
On May 11th, I had an X-ray at the hospital. The doctor said the X-ray results showed that the bones and everything else were normal, with no damage.
During this time, I consulted several doctors. Some said it was hip joint bursitis, while others said it was a muscle or tendon strain. I originally wanted to have an MRI, but the child is too young, and I was worried they wouldn’t allow it. Now, I’ve been constantly worried about what the problem is and can’t be sure of the symptoms. I hope you can help us clarify this in your busy schedule. On behalf of my whole family, I am extremely grateful to you!!!
Doctor's answer:
Need to go to the hospital's physical therapy department for treatments such as infrared therapy, moxibustion, massage, heat application, closed-loop therapy, and acupuncture. Oral Chinese medicine treatment for blood circulation promotion and blood stasis resolution is also required. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other stimulating foods. Engage in moderate exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness.The occurrence of pediatric hip dysplasia severely affects the patient's health. In addition to timely treatment, patients must also pay attention to daily care. It is important to protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of recurrence.
