Patient's question:
My child is almost two years old now, and I've noticed that when he's being held by an adult, he always rubs his legs, and even when he sits on a chair, he has the habit of rubbing his legs. It seems like the child is in pain. We took him to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor diagnosed it as "childhood rubbing syndrome." How should we treat this condition? What kind of assistance is needed: How should we treat my child's childhood rubbing syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Provide more emotional care for the child, and implementing psychological treatment is a necessary measure. This includes keeping the child's daily life relaxed and pleasant, eliminating mental and psychological stress, encouraging the child to participate in various games and activities to focus and divert attention, allowing the child to fall asleep quickly after fatigue, and immediately going back to bed upon waking. These measures can increase the chance of recurrence. Additionally, attention should be paid to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the child's perineal area. In addition to daily cleaning, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure of the child's perineal area.
