Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could low calcium cause growing pains?Doctor's answer:
It's because of calcium deficiency that causes the baby to have growing pains. The baby is in the period of growth and development, and the faster they grow, the more nutrients they need relatively. If they often avoid meat and have a picky diet, and don't provide the baby with timely nutrient supplementation. It's also essential to know that activities and sunlight are the best ways to supplement calcium. When the baby was young, they never supplemented with fish oil and calcium gluconate oral solution, which led to the baby experiencing growing pains again. Therefore, it's crucial to provide the baby with complementary foods on time, enhance nutrition, eat more nuts, and consume more seafood. Drink more milk before taking a nap in the evening to supplement calcium. It usually takes about one week to two weeks to gradually recover. It's necessary to persist for a period of time.
