Patient's question:
My big baby has been experiencing this for a long time. They always complain about pain in the sides of their calves for no reason. When I took them to a hospital for a check-up, the doctor said this is called growing pains. How should we deal with growing pains in children?Doctor's answer:
Dear parent,Hello. It is a pleasure to serve you. Children's growing pains can be relieved through massage. You can also soak your feet at night. At the same time, gently grasp and apply heat to the leg muscles. It needs to be noted especially that, although running and jumping are natural for children, they should not engage in strenuous exercise during growth and development. Especially not jumping from a height to a lower level, to avoid joint damage and injury.
