Patient's question:
Child, male, over 4 years old, also commonly referred to as leg pain. However, suddenly mentioned joint pain in the right leg 6 days ago, unable to walk. The next day, it improved, but on the third day, he still reported pain, even at night. Ultrasound of the hip joint showed fluid. Please have the doctor diagnose this.Doctor's answer:
Due to the active and restless nature of children, the metabolism of cells in the body is vigorous. Excessive activity can easily lead to the accumulation of lactic acid between tissue cells, stimulating nerve endings, which can also cause pain. This is why we suddenly feel body pain after intense exercise. Parents should pay attention to observe. If the child doesn't hurt during the day but hurts at night, it is most likely growing pains. If a child experiences growing pains, there is no need to restrict their activity or seek medical attention. If the pain is severe, it is advisable to let the child rest more.
