Question
My child, a 5-year-old girl, has been saying her hip hurts. Upon inspection, I found her hip to be red and swollen. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
To handle redness and swelling in a five-year-old’s hip, first clean the area with clean water after bowel movements, then apply red mold ointment or Baiduan for localized treatment. At the same time, avoid giving the child snacks, candy, and junk food to prevent internal heat. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to take the child to a doctor as soon as possible.
