Patient's question:
The child fell and injured the outside of their leg. On the third day, they said their leg hurt. By the third day, they were playing with the other children, saying they didn't hurt when walking, but running still caused some pain. After another day, when asked if it still hurt, they said it didn't. Now, a week has passed, and they are walking with a limp but no longer feel any pain. They can run quite fast, but only with a limp. I want to know what caused this.Doctor's answer:
This situation may still be because the child is used to walking this way before, so even after the leg pain has improved, they may still walk like this. You can correct their posture and encourage them to walk more slowly. If it 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 is the complete 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.
