How Long Does Sprains & Strains Treatment Take for Children?
The duration of treatment for sprains and strains in children varies depending on the severity of the injury. Mild sprains and strains may begin to feel better within a few days to a week with proper rest and care. However, full recovery, including the return to normal physical activities, may take several weeks to ensure that the injury has healed completely and to prevent re-injury.
For more severe sprains and strains, the recovery period may be longer, often requiring several weeks of rest, physical therapy, and gradual reintroduction of physical activity. In cases where immobilization or additional interventions are needed, the treatment and recovery time may extend further. It’s important to follow the healthcare provider’s recommendations to ensure a full and safe recovery.
