Patient's question:
My baby is very cute. He is very obedient. But this morning after school, when he came back, he said his heel hurts. It's so uncomfortable. He's a little afraid to walk. What's going on? I'm too worried about my baby. What are the causes of heel pain in children?Doctor's answer:
Problems with the Achilles tendon and the heel bone itself. Since children engage in a lot of jumping activities, it is common to experience Achilles tendon strains or contusions of the heel bone membrane. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital orthopedics department for examination and treatment when you have time. Due to the relatively fragile bones and soft tissues of young children, it is likely that deformed bones may be pressing on the body tissues and tendons.
