Children are very lively and active, and for them, being energetic is a good thing. However, many children may complain about knee pain, and some parents may not pay attention, saying that their children are tired from playing and causing knee pain. This is a wrong view. Many children's knee pain has many reasons and should be treated in a timely manner. So, what department should children go to for knee pain?
What department is responsible for the child's knee pain
The general examination can be referred to the internal medicine department. X-ray examination can be performed to check for osteoarthritis, which may result in narrowing of joint spaces or thinning of joint cartilage. If there is suspicion of osteoarthritis, a urine routine examination can be performed. CT and MRI examinations can improve the early diagnosis rate of osteoarthritis, display clear joint lesions, and detect the degree of cartilage damage and ligament damage. Osteoarthritis can lead to some complications, such as intra-articular mobilization and traumatic synovitis. So it is necessary to seek timely treatment after discovery.
What are the reasons for a child's knee pain
When a child's knee hurts, they should first check if it has been bumped.
Children are developing and growing their bodies, and bone development is very fast. However, bone development is too fast, and nutrition is even worse, lacking calcium, so sometimes children may also experience pain.
If the above two reasons are ruled out and the child's knee has no injuries or falls, parents should not be careless. They should take the child to a regular children's hospital for a comprehensive examination, and then let the doctor diagnose and determine what the disease is, and then prescribe the right medicine.
There are many reasons for a child's knee pain, and family members cannot ignore this issue. They can first rule it out and see what causes it, and then give correct treatment. Many children, due to their physical growth and lack of calcium, often experience knee pain. So it is necessary to provide children with timely calcium supplementation, which can be achieved through dietary therapy, and also pay attention to sun exposure.
