Question
A child was injured while riding a bicycle and now frequently experiences leg pain and weakness in their arms. They are active but find it difficult to move around. What should be done?
Answer
It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital. During this period, attention should be paid to rest, reduce activities, elevate the injured limb while resting, and move the toes and regional muscles to promote blood circulation and venous return, which helps to reduce swelling. Additionally, external application of safflower oil can be considered, and oral blood circulation and blood stasis medicine such as San Qi tablets may be taken.
