Question
My child often complains of body pain and sometimes feels achy. The doctor says it’s growth pain. How long does this kind of pain usually last?
Answer
Growth pain typically improves gradually within half a month to a month. It is mainly caused by a lack of calcium, so it’s important to ensure adequate calcium intake. This can be achieved through consuming calcium-rich foods or using calcium supplements. Additionally, maintaining a balanced intake of trace elements and regular exercise can help reduce the symptoms of growth pain.
