What are the reasons for children's heel pain?

Patient's question:

My baby is very cute and very obedient. However, this morning after school, he came back and said his heel hurts, which is very uncomfortable. He's a little hesitant 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. Due to the fact that children engage in a lot of jumping activities, it is common to experience Achilles tendon strains or contusions to the heel bone membrane. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital orthopedics department for examination and treatment when you have time. Since children's bones are still relatively fragile in the early stages and their bodies are more flexible, it is likely that deformed bones are pressing on the body tissues and tendons.
