Question

My child has been experiencing leg pain, especially in the knee area for some time now. How can I alleviate it?

Answer

The examination shows that the child’s knee pain may be due to calcium deficiency. Experts suggest trying corrective shoes to correct walking posture. If the problem persists, it is recommended to change to a different hospital for further examination. In addition, here are some common pediatric conditions that parents can check:

  • Is there any tendinitis in the Achilles tendon? If so, it may be Achilles tendinitis.
  • Does the child have a history of oxygen deficiency at birth? If so, it may be cerebral palsy (many mild cases have normal intelligence).
  • Is there any talipes varum? If so, it may be congenital clubfoot.
  • Is there an arch in the foot? If not, it may be flat feet.
