What should I do if a child who has been scalded cannot straighten their legs when walking or sleeping?

Patient's question:

What is the reason why a child cannot straighten their limbs after a burn and cannot walk or sleep? Is it because of the burn? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: Generally, children cry and fuss because they have problems. But when they sleep, they can stretch out, right? You can take your child to the orthopedics department to check if there are any ligament changes, and if necessary, have imaging tests. If there are no issues, wait and see. Don't deliberately remind your child or ask if their legs hurt. It's recommended that you seek professional medical examination promptly to avoid delaying your child's condition.
