Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common foot problems children face?
Children’s feet are still developing, so they are susceptible to a variety of foot problems. The most common ones include flat feet, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, and athlete's foot. It is important for parents to regularly check their child's feet and seek medical attention if they notice any abnormalities or symptoms.
Yes, children can take medication for foot pain, but it’s crucial to follow the instructions given to you by your podiatrist. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help with mild foot pain, but stronger prescription medications may be needed for more severe issues. It’s important to consult with a medical professional before giving any medication to your child.
You should consider taking your child to a pediatric foot specialist if you notice any of the following signs:
  • Persistent foot pain
  • Difficulty walking or standing
  • Abnormal growth or development of the feet
  • Any injuries or abnormalities in the feet or ankles that cause concern
Your child’s primary pediatrician may also recommend a pediatric foot specialist if they notice any issues during routine check-ups. It is always best to seek professional medical advice if you have concerns about your child's feet.
