Question
Do children who frequently complain of leg pain need to see a doctor? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answer
Hello, if a child frequently experiences leg pain, it is first recommended to supplement their calcium intake, which may help alleviate the symptoms. Since children are in a critical stage of growth and development, and may have poor eating habits, it’s easy for them to lack the necessary nutrients for growth. Therefore, encouraging them to maintain a balanced diet and avoid picky eating is crucial for improving leg pain symptoms. Generally, there should be some improvement within a few days. Please note that it is not advisable to give children painkillers to ensure their normal growth and development.
