Patient's question:
Lately, the legs of the little ones have been red, and their calf muscles are also sore. They haven't been eating properly, and they might have growing pains, which could cause stomach pain.Doctor's answer:
Growing pain has become very common. Growing pain generally causes abdominal pain, and in this case, the baby will be very uncomfortable. However, parents must not rub the baby's abdomen randomly. Many parents adopt the method of rubbing when their child has abdominal pain. Experts remind that parents must not rub the baby's abdomen randomly. If the child is not suffering from gastrointestinal issues, for example, if the pain continues to worsen during rubbing, then this method should not be used, as it may relieve the condition or even cause greater harm. Cold compresses, abdominal massage, and massaging the San Li Ren acupoint can be used to alleviate pain to some extent. Parents should strictly control what their child eats and drinks, avoiding raw or cold foods.
