How to deal with growing pains?

Patient's question:

My baby is five years old this year, and I don't know what's going on. Recently, my baby has been saying that his knees hurt a bit. Today, I took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's growing pains. I would like to consult with medical experts on this matter—how to deal with growing pains? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

The child is already 5 years old. At this stage, boys are in the fastest phase of growth and development. Therefore, if the baby says his knees hurt, it is highly possible that it is due to the baby's rapid transformation, and the nutrients in his body cannot keep up. At this time, we should promptly supplement the child's nutrition, providing the calcium and other trace elements needed for the transformation. There is no particularly effective method. Balanced nutrition can be supplemented.
