Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they often complain of leg pain. How is metatarsalgia treated?Doctor's answer:
The foot has developed again, which primarily causes pain symptoms in the foot, can lead to severe swelling, and may also affect walking. It is mainly recommended to soak the foot in hot water more frequently, with each session lasting about half an hour, while also paying attention to preventing cold exposure. Acupuncture therapy and mugwort moxibustion therapy can also be used in combination. Additionally, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as sodium diclofenac or ibuprofen may be helpful. Specific medication should be taken strictly according to medical advice.
