Question
Why is a child suddenly limping while walking without pain or any redness and swelling injuries, and with strong foot pressure?
Answer
The child, who is two years and eight months old, is limping and it may be due to growing pains. Growing pains are characterized by pain around the knee joint or the front side of the lower leg, without a history of injury, normal activity, and no local redness, swelling, or tenderness. The treatment involves regional massage, heat application, supplementing nutrients, and reducing vigorous exercise.
