Patient's question:
What foods are good for growing pains symptoms? How long does it take to recover from treatment? Is surgery risky? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cause of growing pains is that bone growth is faster than the surrounding tissues, so the nerves, tendons, and muscles around the long bones of the limbs grow relatively slowly, resulting in pulling pain.Suggestions: Eat more foods rich in calcium or those that promote calcium absorption. For example:
- Dairy products (human milk, cow's milk, goat's milk, etc.) are rich in calcium and are well absorbed.
- Animal liver, egg yolks, fish, meat, and legumes are rich in vitamin D, which can promote calcium absorption. However, vitamin D from plants and animals must be converted into endogenous vitamin D through ultraviolet exposure before it can be utilized by the human body.
Wishing you good health.
