Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 9 yr old son who has hurt his left knee playing football. The pain comes and goes, but has really been bad these last couple of days. Ice and Ibuprofen don t seem to do much. I do have a doctor s appt scheduled on Friday, but just curious as to what may be wrong. Can kids tear things like adults??
If the pain persist beyond 3 days of insult despite analgesics, its likely that he suffered a ligament injury- which is common in children as well. Kindly see your orthopedist. Meanwhile, continue analgesics and immobilize the joint.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
