How to deal with a 2.5-year-old child with low fever and slightly painful feet?

Patient's question:

The baby is generally in good spirits, deep sleep is okay, weight is 30 jin. Between 37 and 38 degrees for 3 days, foot pain, unaware of previous treatment and effectiveness: oral medication, injection of anti-inflammatory small needles. What kind of assistance is desired: cause of foot pain, solutions.

Doctor's answer:

The period of accelerated growth, where limb pain caused by the inconsistency between muscle growth speed and bone growth speed is referred to as growing pains. Not every child will experience growing pains again during the period of accelerated growth, but approximately one in six children will. The primary areas affected by growing pains are the upper and lower limbs, rather than the joints, with the pain in the lower limbs being much more pronounced. This is also the distinction between growing pains and arthritis.
