Patient's question:
A five-year-old girl often has leg pain, usually joint pain, mostly in the morning. Recently, she has also been complaining of pain during the day and at night. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Your child developing this condition is generally due to two factors or causes: 1. Bone development in children, 2. Calcium deficiency in children. Regardless of which one, calcium supplementation treatment is required.Recommendations:
1. Inject 200,000 IU of Vitamin D2 intramuscularly once a month for three consecutive months.
2. Take 5ml of calcium gluconate oral solution orally three times a day. This method is very effective for calcium supplementation.
3. Pay attention to a balanced and nutritious diet, avoiding picky eating and including meat, eggs, (dairy products), vegetables, and fruits.
