Patient's question:
The child says they have some joint pain in their legs. Is it because they're growing too fast and lacking calcium? They have taken supplements before, and I hope you can tell me what kind of calcium is better to eat.Doctor's answer:
When a child grows taller, they may indeed experience many joint-related discomfort symptoms again. This is due to the reason that growing taller involves "popping" joints. Next, let's check if the child has caught a cold. Based on the situation you described, here are a few suggestions for you to try:First, you can pay attention to giving your child more foods rich in calcium and protein. Collagen is beneficial for the growth of cartilage, which then leads to ossification and bone formation. Fish, shrimp, pork bones, pig trotters, and bean products (excluding seaweed) are all good options.
Additionally, it's best to reduce the intake of hormone-rich foods. The fusion of the epiphyseal plates in children is quite noticeable, so it's best to avoid fast-food options like KFC.
Lastly, make sure to get adequate rest. The nighttime is the best time for growth, so avoid overexertion. Drink more milk and pay attention to staying warm. Wishing you good health.
