Patient's question:
My nephew has pain all over his body, with variable locations, intermittent in nature, mostly at night, and lasting for 1-2 hours. He is now 14 years old. When he is not in pain, he eats, sleeps, and moves normally. When taken to the hospital for examination, no definitive diagnosis was found, and it was only said to be growing pains. It has now lasted for nearly a month, and he has lost a lot of weight. We sincerely request experts to help us solve this problem. We are deeply grateful.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: This unexplained whole-body pain could be rheumatic myalgia.Advice: It is recommended to take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules orally for treatment, as it is very effective for pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. There are many factors that can cause growing pains. If a child is confirmed to have growing pains, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
