It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a trace element check to see if the lack of calcium is the cause.
Medical advice: Rapid growth in children can lead to calcium deficiency, which may result in recurrent growing pains. These pains are often near the joints. If no abnormalities are found during the examination, it is likely growing pains, which are not a concern. It is advisable to supplement with calcium appropriately.
