What Do Stomach And Leg Pain After Using Steroid Cream Indicate?

My 4 year old granddaughter was bitten by mosquito which left huge bumps on her legs. We took her to the doctor who gave us a steroid cream which has helped. My question is as of yesterday she has been complaining of her legs hurting and we notice she is walking with a limp. She is also complaing about her stomach hurting. What could be wrong?

Hello,

The leg pain is probably not related to using steroid cream but by the bites. Check the bites if anyone is infected causing the pain. Use antibacterial cream also to prevent infection. Use antihistamines to prevent redness and swelling.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
