Patient's question:
The child is six years old this year. Recently, for about a year, he often complains of soreness in the calf muscles, enjoys being pressed and rubbed, and frequently asks adults to help massage them. The child's expression does not seem to be in much pain. However, the pain occurs intermittently. When his attention is diverted, he does not complain of pain. It is not a constant 24-hour pain. If it hurts today, it might not hurt tomorrow, but it will return in a few days, with this pattern of recurrence.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, based on the above situation, it is considered that your baby's growing pains are caused by calcium deficiency. First, it is recommended to adjust your baby's diet by giving them more foods high in calcium. Exposing your baby to sunlight appropriately can promote calcium absorption.Suggestions: It is recommended to supplement your baby with calcium preparations such as calcium gluconate, combined with calcium absorption enhancers like cod liver oil or AD drops for simultaneous administration. This can increase your baby's absorption and utilization of calcium, and after a period of adjustment, the symptoms will also improve.
