10 Symptoms and Treatments for Sever's Disease

9. Taking painkillers

Painkillers are unnecessary in most cases since the disease does not cause so much pain that the patient cries out for relief. Often the pain is more severe when the patient wakes up in the morning, but all the same, it should remain manageable and allow the child to go to school. An unbearable pain might indicate an infection or a rarer disease. However, if the doctor believes it is merely an unusually severe case of Sever's disease, they could prescribe ibuprofen or some other kind of anti-inflammatory medication.
