Patient's question:
My son just started first grade, and he's been experiencing knee pain recently. I thought he might have fallen somewhere, so I took him to see a doctor. The doctor said it was growing pains and not a serious issue. They didn't prescribe any medication or anything and we left. My son was crying so hard in pain. How can we relieve the pain from growing knee pain?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, in summary, it is understood that the pain is mostly caused by growth pains due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended that you can supplement your baby with calcium pills. If you want to treat the condition, you can also consider massage therapy or acupuncture and moxibustion to alleviate the symptoms. Pay attention to getting more sun exposure in daily life to enhance calcium absorption, lower immunity, pay attention to diet, and enhance nutrition. Eat more foods high in calcium, such as fish, shrimp, and large bone soup.
