How Can A Painful Bump On The Right Knee Be Treated?
Hello, My 4 year old son is in significant pain in his right knee. There is a visible bump/bulge on the outside of his knee which is where he reports the pain to be. It is tender to the touch, and he is unable to bear weight on that leg. There is no known trauma, no falling, nothing that we can pinpoint. We have been having him ice it for now, but are wondering what else we could do? Acetaminophen? The pain seems to be progressively getting worse. Thank you in advance.
