Question

I’ve been feeling growing pains lately and I’m not sure what the cause is. I’m worried that I might have some kind of illness, but my family says it might be a sign of growing taller. I want to confirm, do growing pains really mean I’m getting taller?

Answer

Growing pains typically occur during periods of rapid growth in children and are a normal part of development. They refer to the muscle and skeletal pain that children may experience during their growth process. However, if the pain is severe, it’s still advisable to visit a hospital for a check-up. Additionally, incorporating a rich variety of vitamins into your daily diet can also aid in physical development.
