Question 1: The baby is almost 3 years old. Recently, he keeps complaining that his legs hurt. I asked him where the pain was. He said the skin hurts, just in front of the calf. What is the reason? What medicine can be taken to relieve and treat it? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: In this case, consider growing pains. Growing pains do not require drug treatment. If the pain is severe, attention should be paid to allowing the baby to rest more and relax the muscles. Parents can also use hot towels to apply hot compresses or massage on the painful parts of the baby, or divert the baby\’s attention. Growing pains can be summed up in three words: they come uninvited, they hurt even if you don’t move, and they heal without treatment. Uninvited means that there are almost no triggers for the occurrence of growing pains, and there is no telling when they will appear. Pain without moving means that growing pains will not affect the child\’s activities. Healing without treatment means that growing pains usually get better and disappear on their own within a short period of time (overnight) and do not last until the next morning. Question 2: My baby recovered from a cold some time ago. Now he wakes up every morning with a severe cough and phlegm. He feels that there is a lot of phlegm. He doesn’t cough much during the day. What should I do? Also, my baby has been constipated for a long time. What should I do to improve it? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: For cough problems, you can take albuterol sulfate tablets and orange-red expectorant granules. If you have constipation, you need to pay attention to your diet. Eat pears, vegetables, boiled white radish and drink water every day. Do not eat apples, cookies and other snacks, bananas. Be sure to eat them when they are ripe, as raw bananas can cause constipation. Question 3: I am 32 years old this year. I have never had a checkup or given birth to a child. Yesterday, there was blood in the intercourse at noon. It lasted all afternoon, but the amount was not much. Brown leucorrhea appeared in the evening. Now there is still brown vaginal discharge, but it is not much. I can only see it by wiping it with paper. What is going on? Dr. Yu Jiangqi’s answer: For bleeding after intercourse, first consider cervical erosion, contact bleeding during intercourse, then consider bleeding caused by intermenstrual hormone secretion disorders, and finally consider bleeding from cervical cancer. If it happens once in a while, the amount of bleeding is not large and there is no obvious abdominal pain, you can observe it first. If you want to make a final diagnosis, you need to go to the hospital for examination.
