Question

My child, who is about 5 years old, has been complaining of leg pain recently. I would like to know the treatment methods for osteitis of the foot.

Answer

Recurring synovitis in the foot may cause pain and swelling, affecting walking. It is recommended to soak the feet in hot water for half an hour each time and to keep warm. Acupuncture and moxibustion can be combined, along with the appropriate use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as sodium diclofenac or ibuprofen. Please follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
