Pediatric FAQs

Is it normal for kids to have growing pains in their feet?

Yes, growing pains in the feet are common in children and usually occur in the evening or at night. These pains are typically not serious and can be managed with rest, stretching, and over-the-counter pain relief. If your child’s foot pain is severe or persists you should seek out our qualified pediatric podiatrists in Orange County.

What should I look for if my child complains about foot pain?

Pay attention to persistent pain, swelling, redness, difficulty walking, or changes in the appearance of the foot. These symptoms may indicate an underlying condition that requires medical attention.

When should I bring my child to a podiatrist?

If your child has consistent foot pain, difficulty walking, or visible deformities, it’s important to consult a pediatric podiatrist in Orange County. Early intervention can prevent potential long-term issues.

When should I worry about my child’s foot pain?

You should be concerned if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, redness, or fever. These could be signs of an infection or a more serious condition that needs prompt medical evaluation.

How do I keep my child’s feet healthy?

To keep your child’s feet healthy, maintain proper foot hygiene by washing them daily and trimming the nails to avoid ingrown toenails. Ensure your child wears shoes that fit well and provide adequate support, and encourage regular physical activity to strengthen their feet.

What type of shoes should I get for my kid?

Choose shoes that are comfortable, provide good support, and have a proper fit. Avoid shoes that are too tight or loose, and ensure they are appropriate for the child’s activity level.
