Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, for which I am asking about the treatment for sports-related periostitis.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and base recovery on rest, as this can create a stable environment for the inflammation to subside. Additionally, topical medications that reduce swelling, relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and clear blood stasis can be applied internally. If the pain is severe, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be taken orally to completely eliminate local inflammation and also have the effect of promoting blood circulation. If the condition does not improve after the above treatments, local (closely applied therapy) can be considered. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
