Patient's question:
My child is three and a half years old. These past few days, every afternoon he says his hands and feet hurt. Each time the pain lasts for a few seconds, then it goes away, and then it hurts again for a few seconds. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The child's pain is relatively short-lived. In this case, it is first necessary to consider whether it is caused by gout or rheumatic diseases. If the child frequently experiences short-term pain in the hands and feet, it is best to go to a large, reputable hospital for a thorough examination of serum calcium and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Check the rheumatoid factor, check blood uric acid, to confirm the specific cause.
