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 son is 4 years old. Since yesterday morning we have noticed that there is a slight swelling on his left leg side of the knee. It s actually on the side facing to the other leg. Please reply immediately...he is not complaining of any pain however. I am very much worried...
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I cancluded that your son is having swelling in left leg but he is not having any pain and fever so I think he may has got some minor injury leading to swelling. You can exclude fracture by x ray of leg. Elevation and active toe movements are helpful in reducing swelling. If pain he can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
