Review of treatment at Soso Pediatric Clinic in Songpa-gu, Seoul

After a recent family trip, my child complained of leg pain, so I visited a pediatrician. At first, I thought it was simple muscle fatigue, but the pain persisted, which worried me and led me to believe he needed professional treatment. The pediatrician thoroughly examined my child's condition and explained various possibilities, which put me at ease.

During the examination, the doctor stated that the child likely suffered from leg strain from prolonged walking or running during the trip. He performed a basic examination and a simple movement test to check for any abnormalities in the child's joints or bones. Fortunately, no major problems were found, and the doctor diagnosed the pain as temporary muscle fatigue and tension.

As for treatment, I was advised to first get plenty of rest without overdoing it and take prescribed pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications as needed. I was also advised that warm compresses could also help relax my muscles.

The point emphasized by the pediatrician was not to force the child to walk or run when in pain, and to return immediately if the symptoms worsen or the swelling worsens. After observing the child at home and taking medication, the pain in the child's leg gradually subsided over the next few days, which gave me peace of mind.

Through this experience, I realized how important it is to receive pediatric care even for minor symptoms, and thanks to the thorough treatment and friendly guidance provided by the Soso Pediatric Clinic, my anxiety was greatly relieved.
