Child's knee pain could be childhood femoral head necrosis?

Patient's question:

The child usually dislikes running around in the community, but recently he hasn't been very active and keeps complaining of pain. The child's knee pain might be due to childhood femoral head necrosis. What would be a good solution? Once the bone becomes infected, is there a possibility of recovery? What should be particularly noted when caring for someone with bone necrosis?

Doctor's answer:

Children's knee pain is generally considered to be caused by soft tissue injuries from frequent running and hitting hard objects. Hip dysplasia usually causes pain in the hip joint area. If you are really concerned, it is recommended to take the child to a local regular hospital for a detailed hip joint X-ray examination to confirm the diagnosis. It is suggested to use a hot water bag to help the child with cold compress on the knee, which can improve local blood circulation and slow down the progression of the condition for recovery.
