What Dosage Of Poster Can Be Given To A Child With Pain In Calf Muscles ?
Hi. My 4 year old daughter is crying with pain of her calf. I have rubbed Arnica oil but she is getting no relief. There appears no injury on the leg. Can I give her poster? If so, how much? Should I take her to the doctor? Should I be concerned that it is. Junior arthritis as she has complained before but never been in so much pain.
Please help.
Thanks,
Denise

Hello there!
Thank you for asking, if the kid has no trauma and no calf injuries or color or temperature changes or any rickets or bone diseases then keep massaging with the oil and use some acetaminophen or mefenamic acid syrups. 4 Years is too young to be trouble some. If the problem persist after using simple treatment then see the paediatrician for further workup,
Good Luck
