Patient's question:
My daughter is 3 years old and her legs started to hurt, but it got better after resting for a while. These past two days, her legs hurt so much that she can't stand up. Is it because she's lacking calcium? When she went to the hospital for an X-ray, it came out fine. A blood test showed she's lacking calcium and iron. Is it really calcium deficiency? What tests should she do at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
At first, my legs hurt, but resting for a while made it better. But recently, my legs hurt so much that I can't stand up. I'm considering whether 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 it be a rheumatic disease or allergic purpura? It's necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If there's a calcium deficiency, we should also check blood calcium levels to see how low they are. Specific problems require specific treatments. The above advice is for the question "My 3-year-old daughter's legs hurt at first, but resting for a while made it better." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
