What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Toes Of A Child?
My 15-year-old son has been complaining of pain and swelling at the base of his big toes, right more than left. He has flat feet and any type of arch bothers him so I look for the flattest shoes I can find. His pain is often excruciating. He has iced them and uses Ibuprofen. What else should I do?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per the history explanation, the pain is in relation to compression of underlying nerve structures from flat foot. I recommend to consult him with an expert neurophysician.
