Patient's question:
The baby has been crying constantly recently, and it's difficult for him to fall asleep at night. We took him to the hospital for a thorough physical examination, but there were no problems found. The doctor said it might be due to the onset of a growth spurt, which could cause growing pains, and it would improve after a while. However, I'm still very worried and don't know what to do. Hello, what are the symptoms of growing pains in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Growing pains in children are usually accompanied by symptoms such as leg pain. It is generally caused by rapid growth and calcium deficiency. It is best to have a thorough check-up for trace elements at the hospital and take appropriate calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is recommended to change the child's diaper on time. If breastfeeding, the mom needs to eat more calcium-rich foods. It is also suggested to have a diversified diet and avoid pickiness or poor appetite to prevent affecting the quality of breast milk.
