Question
My son is now 4 years old, but recently he has been feeling unexplained body pain. The doctor said this is a sign of growth pains. I want to know how long they usually last?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, your son is currently 4 years old and may be going through growth pains. Growth pains usually do not last very long, but each child’s situation is different. To better understand your child’s condition, it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, ensure he gets plenty of high-protein foods, and supplement with calcium. At the same time, take your child to the pediatric department for a comprehensive evaluation, including bone density tests, to receive personalized prevention or treatment plans. During this period, comfort your child’s emotions and provide appropriate nutritional supplements.
