Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent leg pain, and I was wondering what medication is typically prescribed for periostitis.Doctor's answer:
You may be suffering from periostitis caused by chronic overuse, cold exposure, mechanical friction, trauma, and other factors. This can lead to localized pain, increased joint mobility, and a tendency to feel cold in the affected area. Generally, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, as well as corticosteroids, can be used under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Physical therapy can also be used in conjunction to alleviate pain. Rest and appropriate functional exercise should be maintained during daily life.
