Patient's question:
My daughter has been feverish since the evening of February 2nd, when she turned two and a half. The fever wasn't severe for the first three days, and she was in good spirits. Starting from the fourth day, she had a continuous fever. During her nap, she said her stomach hurt, but shortly after, she mentioned her legs hurt. On the evening of the fourth day, we took her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed her with a viral cold, poor tracheal condition, and red, swollen tonsils. They prescribed Cefixime, Qingkailing, and Ibuprofen. On the fifth night, she woke up intermittently in pain, saying her legs hurt, but she didn't know why.Doctor's answer:
From the clinical diagnostic information you have described, it is more likely that the condition is growth pain. The recurrence of this condition is often due to the child's relatively high level of activity and rapid growth of long bones, which is not well-coordinated with the growth and development of local muscles and tendons, leading to the recurrence of physiological pain.If the growth pain reappears, it is important to note that growth pain is not a disease and generally does not require special treatment. It should not affect the child's physical activity. However, if the pain is severe, it is advisable to allow the child to rest more and relax the muscles, avoiding strenuous exercise.
