Patient's question:
A three-year-old child, who looks much taller than his peers, has been complaining of pain recently. Could it be growing pains? Therefore, I came to seek advice from the doctor. What are some ways to relieve the pain of growing pains in children?Doctor's answer:
The key is to pay attention to rest for the baby, get more sun exposure, and at the same time, it's essential to enhance nutrition. Eat more seafood, (dairy products), and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can alternate taking two different calcium supplements orally: calcium gluconate oral liquid, vitamin D chewable tablets, and calcium lactate, as they are absorbed well. After about a week, it will stabilize noticeably. Before napping in the evening, soak the baby's feet in hot water more often. If necessary, you can use a spray. Massaging the baby more often and combining it with acupuncture will be even more effective.
