Patient's question:
My daughter is 3 years old. She started experiencing leg pain, which improved after resting for a while. Over the past two days, her leg pain has become so severe that she can't stand up. Is it possible she's lacking calcium? When she went to the hospital for an X-ray, everything was fine. A blood test revealed a deficiency in both calcium and iron. Is it calcium deficiency that's the issue? What tests should be done at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
At first, my legs hurt, but resting for a while made it better. But in the last two days, my legs hurt so much that I can't stand up. We need to consider if there might be a problem with my knee joints. However, even if there is an issue with the knee joints, we need to find the cause. For example, could there be a rheumatic disease, or could it be allergic purpura? We need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If there's a lack of calcium, we should also have our blood calcium levels checked at the hospital. Specific problems require specific treatments. The above advice is for the question "My 3-year-old daughter's legs started hurting, but resting for a while made it better." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
