Is there medicine to help Legg Calve Perthes Disease in child age 4?
My 5 yr old son was just diagnosed with LCPD yesterday. It is present in both of his hips, but much more severe on his left side. The treatment for him is a night time brace to hold his femur in the hip socket to promote healthy shaping of the new bone growth and anti-inflamatory drugs (such as Motrin or naproxen) for joint swelling and pain. He will have x-rays done again in 3-4 months to monitor the progress and shaping of his hip joint. As far as the medicine to help, it is mainly for comfort - and I have found that the naproxen has helped relieve his pain better, and it only has to be taken once per day.

If this happens frequently then your child might be suffering from constipation. Have him eat food that are rich of fiber so that the stool would soften.

If this won't work for him, seek advice from a doctor.

Eventually, the numerical names for these diseases were replaced, except in the case of fifth disease, which remains today.
