What to do if a child has knee joint effusion

Children's knees are also very fragile when they are young. Just like adults, if adults have any diseases in their knees, then children will also have similar symptoms if they do not pay attention to the maintenance of their knee joints when they are young. In the face of such children's knee diseases, children may also suffer from knee joint effusion. This disease is very harmful. Children are still young and need to be treated in time. So how should children's knee joint effusion be treated?

Knee effusion is synovitis. It belongs to knee joint synovitis. Synovitis is a certain specific manifestation of various diseases (such as trauma, bone hyperplasia, tuberculosis, joint degeneration, rheumatic diseases, pigmented villonodular, surgery, etc.) in synovial tissue. These diseases can cause mechanical, biological, chemical and other stimulations to the synovium, causing congestion and edema of synovial tissue, increased vascular permeability, excessive secretion of synovial fluid, and reduced absorption, thus leading to clinical symptoms such as joint swelling, pain, and limited movement. If not treated in time, the synovium of the joint will be stimulated by inflammation for a long time and gradually thicken.

There is also fibrosis, which causes adhesion and affects the normal movement of the joints. Therefore, synovitis is not a disease, but a common manifestation of many diseases. The synovium of the knee joint is the largest and most complex in the human joints, and it also forms the largest synovial cavity. Since the synovium of the knee joint is extensive and located in the superficial part of the limbs, it is more likely to be injured and infected. Therefore, clinically, synovitis is often manifested in the synovium of the knee joint.

The occurrence of synovitis is the result of the interaction between internal and external factors. The internal factors are mainly liver and kidney deficiency, weak tendons and bones, spleen dysfunction, water and moisture failure, poor collaterals, and phlegm and blood stasis. External injuries may be injuries from falls, wind and cold, long-term strain, or infection by evil toxins.

Internal and external factors affect each other, causing water and dampness to stagnate in tendons, bones and joints, blocking collaterals, and malnutrition of tendons, muscles and joints, resulting in joint swelling, pain, and repeated attacks. It is recommended to use external medications for treatment. Qiu Yitang Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Surgical Plasters can be applied externally to relax tendons and activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, activate blood circulation and disperse blood stasis, and dispel wind and cold. Plaster external application has strong local permeability. Drug molecules are absorbed through the skin to participate in blood circulation, reach the diseased area directly, and are transmitted through the skin to the meridians, tendons and bones, stimulating the body's regulatory function to enhance blood circulation in joints and surrounding tissues, protect synovium, improve nutritional status, reduce inflammatory exudation, and promote joint fluid absorption to relieve joint stiffness, edema, and pain symptoms. Promote functional recovery and achieve the purpose of healing.

In fact, the treatment for children's joint effusion is similar to that for adults. When treating this disease, you must be careful and keep the joints warm. You can use a hot water bottle to keep the child warm, but the effusion in the child must be drained. The above methods can be used for children, so you can try them.
