Question

Do children need calcium supplements for growth pains?

Answer

Growth pains certainly require calcium supplementation, along with enhanced nutrition and increased sun exposure. It is recommended to consume foods rich in calcium and take cod liver oil in the morning, as calcium absorption is better at night. Physical activity and sun exposure are the best ways to supplement calcium. Additionally, provide your baby with sufficient water before bedtime and perform foot massages. If necessary, use Yunnan Baiyao spray to relieve discomfort. Eat more foods rich in calcium, iron, and zinc, especially seafood, and maintain a balanced diet. After a period of nourishment, the condition will gradually improve.
