Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, without any known reason. The child's feet are slightly swollen but not painful when walking. How should this be handled?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is a first-time ankle ligament sprain that did not heal properly, leading to a re-injury. The ligament damage is severe, which is why they are experiencing difficulty walking. Let the child rest for a few days and avoid walking on that foot for now. Additionally, you can apply honghua oil to the ankle and do so 2-3 times a day, continuing for about 4 days.Hello, calcium supplementation should primarily focus on dietary intake. Pay attention to a nutritionally balanced diet and choose foods high in calcium, such as fresh milk, dairy products, shrimp skin, kelp, etc. Also, make sure to get plenty of sunlight to promote calcium absorption.
