What are the reasons why a 5-year-old girl always says her legs hurt?

Patient's question:

My daughter is almost 5 years old now. She used to complain about leg pain, but it was actually knee pain, especially at night. If she covered it with her hands for a while and rubbed it, the pain would go away when she woke up. Recently, it has been happening more frequently. I searched online, and some said it could be growing pains. I'm not sure if that's the cause. Please help me get an answer from a doctor. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
1. It may be related to calcium deficiency and overexertion. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and appropriately supplement with calcium.
2. It is advised to visit a formal hospital as soon as possible. The doctor will conduct necessary examinations based on the cause of your pain, the exact location, nature, severity, and pattern of onset to make an accurate diagnosis. This will allow for targeted treatment.
Suggestions:
It is recommended: For symptoms of muscle and ligament fatigue, absolute rest is advised. You may also try taking Nimesulide capsules or Feprazone tablets, along with Huoxue Zhixing capsules, and applying local heat and massage. This should improve the condition.
