Question

How should one deal with growth pain in children?

Answer

If a child’s pain intensifies, it is usually due to a calcium deficiency. You can provide calcium supplements to alleviate it. Gluconate calcium can be taken for treatment. The occurrence of growth pain typically does not require special treatment. The most effective way to treat pain attacks is to perform regional massage or apply heat therapy on the child, which helps alleviate the pain and ensures the child’s mental well-being. It is appropriate to drink bone broth regularly, as it is rich in calcium and can reduce the discomfort of growth. It is important to stay warm and avoid catching a cold, as a cold can easily worsen the pain symptoms.
