Patient's question:
The child is 4 years old this year. Last night, at midnight, he suddenly had severe foot pain and cried loudly. We quickly took him to the county hospital. When we arrived at the hospital, the pain suddenly stopped, and he was jumping around completely fine. The doctor on duty said to go home and observe for a few days. Last year, he had a slight limp when walking, and the doctor prescribed calcium pills, which improved quickly. This time, the pain appeared suddenly with no warning. Is it still a calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it is possible that the baby may be experiencing foot pain due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to pay attention to giving the baby more foods rich in calcium, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, dairy products, and lean meat. Children are in the stage of growth and development, requiring more nutrients than adults. You can observe whether they can digest gluconic calcium or calcium carbonate. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a child's foot hurt severely and cry?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
