Patient's question:
Child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some reason, they often complain of leg pain. What should I do if the baby has rib flaring, anemia, and zinc deficiency?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is considered related to zinc deficiency and calcium deficiency. In this case, getting more sun exposure can be helpful. Additionally, you can take pediatric fish oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment. If zinc deficiency is present, taking calcium gluconate oral solution can be sufficient.Hello, the growth period is generally during puberty, and some may show it over a year. Height growth is related to genetics and individual differences. Currently, you can have an X-ray of the knee joint to check if there is a possibility of increased growth. If the epiphyseal plate has closed, there will be no further height increase. Otherwise, calcium supplementation or participation in high jump activities can be beneficial for height growth.
