What Is Sever's Disease?

7. Is Medication Prescribed for Sever’s Disease?
Pain caused by Sever’s disease rarely requires prescription medication. For most cases, ibuprofen or naproxen is effective at reducing pain and swelling. If your child continues to experience extreme pain, contact your doctor immediately. Don’t take any medication not recommended by your doctor to attempt to treat Sever’s disease.
A fever higher than 101.4, increased swelling while at rest and severe pain are all signs that you should contact your doctor. Symptoms should decrease with rest, ice, stretching and pain medication, so an increase in symptoms may be a sign of another issue.
