Patient's question:
A 4-year-old child occasionally mentions that their left knee hurts. Should a CT scan or X-ray be done to identify the cause or reason? Additionally, they frequently complain of stomach pain. What are the factors or causes?Doctor's answer:
Hello: There are two possible reasons for your baby's leg pain: one is calcium deficiency. Suggestions: It could also be growing pains or fatigue from playing. I recommend taking your baby to the hospital for a trace element examination to confirm the diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment. If the deficiency is due to calcium, you can give him some traditional Chinese medicine preparations like Longmu Zhuanggu Zongji. This medicine is well-absorbed and does not require additional AD supplements. During this time, combine it with dietary supplements by eating foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, fish, shrimp skin, seaweed, and bone broth. At the same time, eat foods rich in vitamin D, such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver, to promote calcium absorption. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
