Patient's question:
It's obvious that the girl has experienced significant changes in height over the past year. Recently, she has been constantly complaining of body pain, but when asked where it hurts, she can't explain the reason. It's possible that this could be growing pains related to her development. I want to know how many days it usually takes for growing pains to subside?Doctor's answer:
Children may experience growing pains during their special stages of growth and development, with pain primarily occurring in their legs or knees, intermittent lower limb pain episodes. Most of the pain is dull, but there may also be needle-like pain or even severe pulling pain. This condition often occurs at night, lasting from several minutes to several hours, without wandering, unlimited physical activity, and disappearing quickly. If the child experiences severe pain, it is essential to supplement their calcium intake, encouraging them to consume more calcium-rich foods such as spinach, tofu, shrimp, and seaweed. At this time, it is advisable to let the child get more sunlight to promote calcium absorption and to persist in encouraging them to exercise.
