Suggest Treatment For Foot Pain And Behavioral Changes In A Child
My 34month old son was a vivasious toddler. Outside everyday .. Loud and bold .. Hearty tantrums and was always eating. Now he seems more slender.. Rarely goes outside.. Pecks at his food lays in bed most of the day and is pale. His only complaint is of his foot.. Standing still he had agonizing pain for an entire 2 days but there was no sigh on any problems. This was 6 weeks ago. I m becoming concerned it s something worth looking into

Hi....by what you quote I feel that foot pain is not the only reason. There is no reason why a well eating kid should become a picky eater due to foot pain. It can be even an iron deficiency or he's becoming less social for psychosocial reasons too. I suggest you seek your pediatrician consultation and if nothing is found in clinical examination, better see a child psychologist too.
