Question
The child has thigh pain and cannot squat after walking a lot. Resting helps, but no treatment has been sought. Previous treatment and outcomes: none.
Answer
The most effective solution when pain recurs is to provide the child with regional massage and cold compresses to help reduce pain levels, giving the child emotional care and a sense of security. Rest during pain and avoid activity to prevent tendons from being pulled, continuously exacerbating the pain. Growth pains are a physical phenomenon and do not require treatment.
