Patient's question:
My big baby has been experiencing pain in the sides of their calves for a long time, complaining that it hurts for no reason. When they went to a hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was called growing pains. How should we deal with children's growing pains?Doctor's answer:
Dear parent, hello, it is a pleasure to serve you. Children's growing pains can be relieved through massage, or they can soak their feet at night while gently grasping and applying heat to their leg muscles. It should be noted that although running and jumping are natural for children, during their growth and development, they should not engage in strenuous exercise, especially jumping from a height to a lower level, to avoid joint injuries.
