Question

How should osteitis in children be handled?

Answer

The primary cause is likely due to excessive weight or intense exercise leading to knee injury, which then triggers synovitis, resulting in joint swelling and pain. In severe cases, it may affect walking. It is recommended to engage in aerobic exercises while reducing knee burden, temporarily take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms, and consider acupuncture and thread-embedding weight loss. At the same time, dietary control should be maintained, avoiding high-fat foods.
