Patient's question:
At 13, if your child is experiencing leg pain due to growth, what supplements should they take?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, leg pain in children is usually caused by growing pains due to calcium deficiency, especially if the child is growing rapidly. If the child's leg pain is diagnosed as being caused by calcium deficiency, they can take children's Caltrate or children's Calcium with Vitamin D, as Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Pay attention to the diet as well, and increase foods rich in calcium, such as milk, fish, shrimp skin, and seaweed. Get more sun exposure and engage in appropriate exercise. Currently, you can supplement with Calci-Juice or Sanjing Calcium for two weeks.
