Patient's question:
Both leg bones hurtDoctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Based on the situation you described, it is likely a calcium deficiency.Guidance: During this period, children experience rapid height growth, with an average increase of 7-8 cm per year. Since bone growth is rapid, while the surrounding nerves, tendons, and muscles grow more slowly, it can lead to pulling pain. To prevent calcium and trace element deficiencies in children, it is important to ensure a diversified diet with a balanced combination of coarse and fine grains. The intake of vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and other nutrients should be well-rounded, and unhealthy habits like picky eating should be corrected. Foods rich in calcium, such as shellfish, soybeans, milk, nuts, kelp, and beef, should be consumed regularly. Additionally, foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, pork liver, fish, high-zinc eggs, chestnuts, walnuts, jujubes, yellow croaker, sea cucumber, and yeast zinc, can also be included. Furthermore, sunlight exposure can effectively help with calcium absorption.
Lifestyle Care: It is recommended to engage in outdoor activities for two hours daily. This can not only strengthen the body but also help prevent rickets.
