Can i give my son a epsom salt bath thats experiencing pain in the inner thigh area. ?

Epsom Salts: in bath water is usually pretty safe. But since the cause of the pain isn't known - can't predict if it will be any help.

Consider that...: just soaking in warm water (or using a heating pad) can help relax muscles and loosen stiff joints.
