Question
Why does a child’s knee turn blue with pain?
Answer
According to the description, a 5.5-year-old boy was pushed over and fell while running at school two days ago, and today it was found that there are blue circular spots around both knee areas, about 10 millimeters in diameter, accompanied by pain. These symptoms may be due to a hematoma caused by the injury. The following measures are recommended:
- Apply Yunnan Baiyao Lotion externally to achieve the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing inflammation and pain, relaxing tendons and muscles, which is suitable for symptoms such as contusions, swelling and pain, wind-damp entering the meridians, joint and muscle swelling and numbness, and scalds.
- Use a damp and hot towel for heat compression to help promote regional blood circulation and accelerate the dispersal of blood stasis.
- Ensure the child gets enough rest, drinks plenty of water, and follows a light diet. Avoid intake of spicy, greasy, or irritating foods. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
