Question

A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently, for some unknown reason. Sometimes, they are unable to jump on one leg. I would like to know what the cause could be and how to treat it?

Answer

This symptom in children may be related to their constitution, and generally, there is no need to worry too much. If the child doesn’t have any other discomforts, it’s advisable to observe them for a while, while also ensuring a balanced diet and appropriate exercise. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s recommended to seek medical attention promptly for further examination and treatment. In daily life, it’s best to avoid intense physical activities for the child to reduce the chance of recurrence.
