Question
What causes children’s toe pain?
Answer
Children with toe pain are likely suffering from growth pain. This condition often arises because children are more active, with faster growth of long bones that do not synchronize with the growth and development of regional muscles and tendons, resulting in physiological pain. Growth pain usually does not require special treatment. The most effective way to deal with an attack of pain is to provide regional massage and heat application for the child, which helps alleviate the pain and gives the child comfort and a sense of security.
