Patient's question:
Because the child's mother has been on a business trip recently, I have been taking care of the child. However, over the past few days, the child has told me that his hands and neck are sore, and I plan to take him to see a doctor tomorrow. I would like to ask, is the hand and neck pain growing pains?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: It seems that this is not growing pains, and the possibility of calcium deficiency is relatively high. You can take your child to a regular hospital to check the calcium content in their body. You can give your child milk every day because milk is the best food for calcium supplementation, or you can often cook bone soup for your child (adding vinegar helps with calcium absorption). At the same time, pay attention to taking your child outdoors for activities and sun exposure.
