Question
What medication should a 2-year-old take for growth pains?
Answer
Growth pains may occur due to the rapid increase in a child’s height, where the growth of bones is faster than the muscles, nerves, and tendons in the limbs, leading to pulling pain. Generally, growth pains are caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium, which can be done by consuming calcium gluconate or Longmu Strong Bone Granules, and ensuring the child gets enough sunlight. At the same time, it is important to avoid vigorous activities.
