Patient's question:
During the day when it doesn't hurt but at night when I go to bed late, I cry because my feet keep kicking back and forth, saying they hurt. After I massage them for a couple of times, I fall back asleep without any redness or swelling.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: It has only started hurting at night recently.
What kind of help I want: I want to ask what might be going on.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There are two possible reasons for your baby's leg pain: either a calcium deficiency or growing pains or fatigue-induced discomfort. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a thorough check-up of trace elements to diagnose the condition and provide appropriate treatment. If the deficiency is due to calcium, you can give your baby some traditional Chinese medicine preparation called Longmu Zhuanggu Zongji. This medicine is well-absorbed and does not require additional AD supplements. During this period, focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium, such as dairy products, fish, shrimp skin, seaweed, and bone broth. At the same time, consume foods rich in vitamin D, such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver, to enhance calcium absorption. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
