What are the reasons for growing pains in children

Patient's question:

At night before going to bed, I often experience pain in both knees. The pain is more noticeable after physical exertion.
At the age of two and a half, the treatment and effectiveness at that time:
I visited a doctor and was prescribed many calcium supplements, but the results were not very significant.
What kind of assistance I would like:
To find the cause and how to alleviate the pain.

Doctor's answer:

I will feel obvious growth pains, leg weakness, muscle cramps, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, easily tired, picky eating, cavities, poor tooth development, and susceptibility to allergies and fever.
For young adults: easily fatigued, prone to allergies, and easily susceptible to fever.
Suggestions: Confirm the extent of calcium deficiency: take an X-ray to check the bone density and ensure normal growth. Rule out organic inflammation. Once confirmed, calcium supplementation should be done through diet, as calcium tablets may not be easily digested due to different forms of iron.
