Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old this year. He often complains of leg numbness, and now he often walks on his toes. What can be done to relieve his leg numbness?Doctor's answer:
If she feels numb after resting, gently moving her legs can alleviate the symptoms, then it is likely due to insufficient blood supply. In such young children, vascular diseases are uncommon, and in most cases, it is caused by pressure. It is important to note that if the child sits or lies in an improper posture, compressing the thighs, even slight external pressure can disrupt blood circulation. When there is insufficient blood supply to the entire leg, causing numbness, discomfort may worsen if the foot touches something. My suggestion is that you should carefully observe the specific situation when the child experiences foot numbness, so that targeted treatment can be provided.
