1. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
Got a kid who complains of pain anywhere from hip to knee and has limited hip motion? It might be Legg-Calve-Perthes disease . This disease occurs when blood supply to the femoral head (ball joint) is lost and the bone starts to die. The bone eventually breaks apart and loses the ball shape. After the blood supply is restored, the bone rebuilds itself, but no longer smooth and round.
There are treatments that will preserve the femoral joint’s shape, so talk with your pediatrician.

Infants and older adults are susceptible to septic arthritis . If you have sudden onset of knee, hip, or shoulder pain and a fever after an infection or if you get a penetrating injury to the joint, see your doctor.

Symptoms start with pain during exercise, followed by pain at rest. Toes and fingers may turn blue or be cold to the touch.

4 Common Drugs Which Damage Your Liver
Medications are used to cure diseases or to alleviate certain discomforts, but many of them can affect some organs of our body. Therefore, we show you some medications that damage the liver.
The medication can often cause long-term chronic liver damage. For example, hepatitis due to poisoning.
Here are the medications that damage the liver:
1.Antibiotics
Some antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, Clindamycin and Trimethoprim can seriously damage the liver.
Regularly antibiotic treatments last between 7 and 10 days, depending on the infection and the response of each organism. But if this time is extended, it could cause consequences at the liver level.
2.Paracetamol
It is one of the medicines that we use the most when we feel pain. Unfortunately, many times we do not consult with a doctor and this could be lethal.
Self-medication is one of the main causes of liver damage.
3.Anti-inflammatories
These medications are also commonly consumed. In case of any symptoms of muscular inflammation, we infer them; even if it is a headache
4.Statins
These drugs are used to regulate cholesterol levels in the blood. Therefore, the dose should be perfectly well controlled by a specialist.
They must measure and perform tests on their patients every certain time.
