Question
My little treasure has been complaining for a long time about pain in the sides of his lower legs, seemingly out of nowhere. After finally going to a hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that this is called growth pain. How should I handle my child’s growth pain?
Answer
Growth pains in children can be relieved through massage. You can also soak their feet at night. Additionally, gently grasp and apply heat to the leg muscles. It is especially important to note that although running and jumping are a child’s nature, during the growth and development process, they should not engage in severe physical activities, especially jumping from high to low, to avoid joint injuries and damage.
