Question
My child, about 5 years old, has been complaining of leg pain recently. What medication should be taken for osteomylitis?
Answer
You may have osteomylitis caused by chronic strain, cold stimulation, mechanical friction, or trauma. This usually leads to regional pain, reduced joint mobility, and regional chilliness. Treatment typically involves nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids under medical guidance, along with physical therapy to alleviate pain. Daily rest and appropriate functional exercises should also be noted.
