Patient's question:
The child says they have some joint pain in their legs. Is it because they're growing too fast and lacking calcium? They have taken supplements before, and I hope you can tell me what kind of calcium is better to eat.Doctor's answer:
When a child grows taller, they may indeed experience many joint discomfort symptoms again, which is due to the reason that growing taller involves the separation of joints. The next thing is to check if the child has caught a cold. Based on the situation you described, here are a few suggestions for you to try. First, you can pay attention to giving your child more foods rich in calcium and protein. Collagen is beneficial for the growth of cartilage, which in turn leads to ossification and bone formation. Fish, shrimp, and pork bones, pig trotters, and soy products (excluding seaweed) are all good options. Additionally, it's best to reduce the intake of hormone-containing foods, as this can significantly impact the closing of the child's growth plates. Fast-food options like KFC are best avoided. Lastly, pay attention to rest, as nighttime is the best time for growth. Avoid overexertion, drink more milk, and take care to stay warm. Wishing you good health.
