Patient's question:
Our child is seven years old and currently attending elementary school. As he is a boy, he tends to be quite lively. Over the past few days, after school, the child came home and told me that he often feels a slight, persistent ache in his knees. The teacher said it's because he's growing taller, so I'd like to ask how to deal with children's growing pains?Doctor's answer:
Pain in the body doesn't need too much worry. It's just that during your child's growth phase, since the body grows and develops rapidly, various aspects of the body cannot fully recover to keep up with the pace of growth. Therefore, it may lead to the recurrence of bone pain or the leg pain that the child mentions. This does not affect normal life, but it's important to timely supplement the child with some trace elements and undergo relevant detailed examinations.
