How Can Calf Muscle Pain Be Treated?
Hi. My 3 year old fell and kinda twisted his leg this morning and hasn t been able to put pressure on it since. He has however been able to move his leg and when I ask him if it hurts when I touch his calf (which I am not I just tell him I am) if it hurts he says yes. Does this sound like a sprained calf muscle?

Hi,
It is due to muscle spasms. If movement is not compromised and pain is occasional. Give her syrup Ibuprofen and tablet Baclofen three times a day.
In 2 to 3 days, condition will become good then it's a good news. If not, then go to orthopedic doctor for tendon rupture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
