Question
The neighbor’s child often plays with my child. After they went swimming yesterday, my child told me that his friend Xiao Li had fallen and hurt himself. I went to visit and found out that Xiao Li has progressive osteochondrodysplasia. What is progressive osteochondrodysplasia?
Answer
Progressive osteochondrodysplasia, also known as proliferative periostitis or symmetrical Osteopetrosis, can be seen in multi-child families of all ages. This condition develops slowly and covertly, often manifesting with pain in the limbs and muscle weakness. For treatment, it is first important to choose a reputable hospital and actively seek treatment. Progressive osteochondrodysplasia is curable, with children of all ages having the potential for recovery. Based on your description, I suggest taking your child to the hospital for a detailed examination to avoid delaying the condition. I hope this answer is helpful.
