Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they frequently complain of leg pain. How should we deal with periosteitis of the tibia?Doctor's answer:
Tibial periostitis is caused by inflammation. In this case, you can take some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs orally to relieve inflammation. During this period, it is best to avoid overexertion, and physical therapy can be used in conjunction. For example, low-frequency and medium-frequency therapy should be avoided during normal activities. Generally, periostitis is caused by long-term overuse, prolonged standing, or prolonged sitting. In some cases, local injuries may also cause this condition.
