Question

Our child has been complaining about pain on both sides of their lower legs for a long time, and the hospital has confirmed it as growth pain. How should we handle our child’s growth pain?

Answer

Dear parents, growth pain in children is a common occurrence and can usually be relieved through massage. You can also give them a foot bath at night and gently knead and apply heat compresses to the leg muscles. During the growth and development period of the child, it is best to avoid allowing them to engage in intense physical activities, especially jumping from high places, to prevent joint injuries.
