Topical anti-inflammatory cream while you are massaging your child\u2019s calf or foot. You can also ask them to stretch the ankle, knee and foot. Basically, it will stimulate the muscles that will make the muscles relax and the pain gets better.<\/p><p class=\"subtitle1 chair-txt\"><strong>Viral Warts<\/strong><\/p><p>Tart with a topical bleaching agent, maybe a weak acid, like drops, the most common one that we use is salicylic acid. We drop it every day until the warts peel off. Sometimes, it\u2019s not that easy, where they got multiple. If the warts get infected, you might need help from a dermatologist to freeze the warts. The dermatologist will use liquid nitrogen to freeze.<\/p><p class=\"subtitle1 chair-txt\"><strong>Ingrown nails<\/strong><\/p><p>For this one, we should start with prevention by properly cutting your kid\u2019s nails and using a proper non-tight footwear.

You can also see the changes in colour redness, swelling and when you palpate the toe, your kid is having pain.
