Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they frequently complain of leg pain. How is periostitis treated?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, the treatment of chronic periostitis is also quite challenging. Periostitis is an aseptic inflammation, mostly caused by trauma. Treatment can involve Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy, acupuncture and massage, which are combined with oral medications to relax muscles, promote blood circulation, and reduce inflammation. If there is fever in the second nerve, it may indicate a bacterial infection, and appropriate oral antibiotics can be administered for anti-infection treatment.
