Patient's question:
The child recently broke a bone accidentally. After undergoing surgery at the hospital, they are currently resting at home. How can a six-year-old child's fracture heal properly?Doctor's answer:
Children have a more vigorous vitality, and bone fractures also recover relatively quickly. During the home rest period for this condition, it is important to encourage enhanced calcium nutrition. They can take calcium supplements, drink milk, consume soy products, black sesame seeds, walnuts, mushrooms, rapeseed, celery, and other foods to aid calcium absorption. Additionally, it is necessary to guide the child through rehabilitation exercises to prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. Appropriate psychological counseling should also be provided to alleviate the child's stress.
