What is the reason why children often complain of foot pain?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine recently encountered this issue and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was a bit in pain and couldn't sleep at night, which greatly affected his condition. What could be the reason if a child frequently complains of foot pain?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, infants and young children grow and develop rapidly, and it is common to experience deficiencies in trace elements such as low calcium. This is likely to be the possibility of growing pains. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, appropriately supplement calcium, and also check for trace elements to see if they need to be supplemented and corrected based on the results. Pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life, eat more vegetables, fruits rich in vitamins and minerals, and drink more water for the child.
