Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, and I would like to know what precautions should be taken regarding the treatment of periostitis.Doctor's answer:
The bone inflammation described by the patient is actually osteoarthritis caused by degenerative rusting of the joint cartilage. The pathological basis of osteoarthritis is the degenerative rusting of the joint cartilage, which leads to stimulation of the subchondral bone. Movement causes pain symptoms. Early treatment primarily involves oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucosamine supplements, or sodium hyaluronate joint cavity anesthesia. Most patients can control the progression of the disease with medication.
