Patient's question:
Recently, I've been curious about a question. Generally, children aged 3-12 may experience growing pains, and the pain usually occurs in the afternoon or evening. So, I'd like to ask, do infants have growing pains?Doctor's answer:
The growth pain often mentioned by people refers to pain in the front of the child's calf or around the knee joint. If these areas are mobile and there is no history of trauma, with no local redness, swelling, or tenderness, and after examination, the child does not have any other diseases, it can be considered as growth pain. Growth pain typically occurs in children aged 3-5 or 8-12, so infants do not experience growth pain.
