Question
A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently. How should osteomyelitis be treated?
Answer
Hello, severe leg pain may be due to regional trauma or strain leading to osteomyelitis, which can easily cause regional joint swelling, pain, or significant movement restriction. Pay close attention to rest during this time and consider taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication in conjunction with pain relief. Please follow medical advice on specific medication use, and also consider hospital therapy to help stabilize the condition.
