Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my so was hit in the thigh with a baseball he is 9. he played the rest of the game without interuptions. On the way home he said it started to hurt, I assume the adrenaline is wearing off. How do I treat this. I heard ice and heat and dont want to inflame the injury. thank you.
Hello, he might have got blunt injury to the muscles of thigh. It will cause inflammatory reaction to that place so it will red, warm to touch, tender and painful. You can apply ice to that region so it will decrease the inflammation. Also I would suggest starting him on some anti-inflammatory medications with analgesic content as it will help to reduce the redness and inflammation along with decrease in the pain. I hope I have helped you. Thank you
