What is the cause of heel pain in a 10-year-old child?

Children are in a lively and active period, so it is inevitable that they will fall and bump into things in life. Generally, these are obvious injuries and can be discovered and treated in time. However, conditions such as heel pain are not easy to detect, and children usually only tell their parents when the pain becomes unbearable. So what is the reason for this situation?

It should be plantar fasciitis, which often occurs on one foot. The pain is most obvious in the first step when getting out of bed in the morning. This is mainly because after a night's rest, the plantar fascia is no longer weight-bearing and is in a relatively shortened state. Therefore, when you get out of bed and step on the ground in the morning, the plantar fascia will be stretched more and faster, causing pain. But after walking for a while, the plantar fascia will become looser and the symptoms will ease. However, if you walk excessively, the plantar fascia will be stretched more and more often and the symptoms will reappear. You can usually press down on an obvious pain point near the heel on the sole of the foot. Sometimes the tenderness is severe and persists. In this case, you can use plantar fasciitis insoles to reduce the tension of the plantar fascia. The special medical-grade silicone material has a better effect on the recovery of plantar fasciitis.

Folk remedies for treatment:

1) Take 200 grams of black plums, add water and boil for 30 minutes, remove the plums and add 100 grams of white vinegar. When the temperature is suitable, soak your feet.

2) Use fatty pork and appropriate amount of wine. Slice the fatty pork, dip it in hot wine and apply it to the affected area.

3) Take 50 grams of Herba Cyperi and 1000 ml of vinegar. Soak for 2-4 hours, then boil for 15 minutes, keep the juice aside, soak the affected area for 20 minutes after it is slightly warm, fumigate first and then wash, 2-3 times a day, one dose can be used for 2 days.

From the introduction, it can be seen that heel pain in ten-year-old children is generally caused by illness. However, it is best not to start treatment first. You can do some relevant examinations first. It is also possible that the pain is caused by the child while playing. In addition, it should be noted that children with heel pain should not do certain exercises to prevent aggravating the pain.
