Test results: Have the tests been done yet?
What kind of help do you need: What should I do? What kind of nutrition should I supplement?

Doctor's answer:

Consider it may be growing pains. It is recommended that the hospital conduct a thorough examination of trace elements and confirm the diagnosis. Afterward, oral calcium gluconate can be administered. Increase your intake of foods rich in calcium or those that promote calcium absorption. For example: dairy products (human milk, cow's milk, goat's milk, etc.) are rich in calcium and are well-absorbed. Animal liver, egg yolks, fish, meat, and legumes contain abundant vitamin D, which can enhance calcium absorption. However, vitamin D in plants and animals must be converted into endogenous vitamin D through exposure to ultraviolet light before it can be utilized by the human body. It is important to get adequate sunlight exposure.
