Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they often complain of leg pain. Why is the baby's foot trembling?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, which may manifest as pain, sweating, or spasms, a blood calcium test can help with diagnosis. Calcium supplements like Gai Zhong Gai can be effective, and it's beneficial to consume foods rich in calcium, such as fish, bone broth, etc. Rest and nutrition should also be noted.If the baby currently has no discomfort, medication may not be necessary. Instead, focus on providing foods high in calcium, increasing sun exposure to enhance calcium absorption, ensuring the baby gets adequate sleep, and maintaining a varied diet. If appetite is poor, oral medications that regulate stomach and spleen function, such as Jian Pi Granules and Er Bao Granules, can be given. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
