Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me the symptoms of growth pain in newborns?Doctor's answer:
During childhood, since the body grows and develops rapidly, if the nutritional intake does not keep pace, and there is a lack of calcium in the body, it is very easy to experience recurrent growing pains. Children often exhibit symptoms such as intermittent, pain of varying intensity in the upper and lower limbs, primarily starting with joint pain in the lower limbs. Therefore, if a thorough examination is conducted at the hospital, other organic inflammatory conditions can be ruled out. If it is only growing pains, there is no need to worry too much. It is important to promptly and patiently supplement calcium for the child, and encourage them to consume more healthy foods rich in calcium, as well as to get more sun exposure.
