How to treat pain from shin splints?

Patient's question:

A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain. How should the pain from periosteitis of the calf be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring bursitis in the calf can easily lead to pain, which can be severe enough to affect exercise and training functions. It is essential to pay attention to bed rest, and at the same time, provide anti-inflammatory and blood-activating treatment for the condition. Physical therapy can be adopted, or intravenous infusion with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve pain. In particularly severe cases, pain relievers can be taken to alleviate the pain, and it is necessary to rest in bed. Maintain a regular schedule and actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health.
