Question
Why do children have foot swelling and pain?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended that you first consult a rheumatology department for tests such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate and anti-O factor to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment. At the same time, pay attention to rest, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the test results show a viral infection, antiviral drugs (such as ribavirin) can be used; if it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics (such as cephalosporins) can be used. Do not rush to reduce fever but first find out the cause. In addition, avoid long-term use of the same medication to prevent drug resistance.
