Question
Does my child need to take calcium supplements for growing pains?
Answer
If there are no signs of injury to the child’s feet or knees, but they experience pain at night, it could be a sign of growing pains. In this situation, calcium supplements may be effective. Typically, no special treatment is needed for growing pains, but some measures can be taken to alleviate the pain during an attack, such as localized massage or heat therapy.
