Patient's question:
Hello: My child will be two years old in a few days, but they always say their legs and feet hurt, and sometimes their hands too. They have been taking calcium supplements for two months, but it seems to have no effect. What could be the reason? The child is very active and doesn't sleep much during the day. Could it be related to walking too much? Please help me solve this.Doctor's answer:
Avoid letting the child overplay and prevent catching a cold; add clothes in time according to the weather changes. If suffering from a cold or intestinal inflammation, seek timely treatment. If diagnosed with growing pains, the most important treatment measure is to limit activity, which is very necessary for recovery. Secondly, take warming measures, as most pains can gradually disappear. For older children, oral intake of vitamin C and vitamin B6 can shorten the course of the illness. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
