Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, and I was wondering what to do about epicondylitis of the elbow.Doctor's answer:
Elbow bursitis is primarily related to exposure to cold, excessive movement, and overexertion. First, pay attention to preventing cold exposure. You can use a hot water bag for cold compresses, massage to improve blood circulation, and apply ointments for treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, take oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications. You can also take calcium supplements to relieve muscle tension and reduce pain. Eat more calcium-rich foods and avoid strenuous exercise.
