Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Foot pain in a 10-year-old child may be caused by walking for an extended period, or it could be due to plantar fasciitis. If the pain results from prolonged walking, the child should rest more and can use warm water foot soaks to improve blood circulation and relieve symptoms. If the pain is caused by plantar fasciitis, pain-relief medications such as ibuprofen tablets may be taken under a doctor's guidance.
