Question
My son has been experiencing frequent pain below the knee on his right leg recently. Is this growth pain?
Answer
Experts suggest that the pain below the knee on the child’s right leg could be due to growth pain or a deficiency in calcium or trace elements. It is recommended to further check for trace elements, and after diagnosis, vitamin AD drops and active calcium supplements can be used to replenish calcium, along with a diversified diet. Avoid vigorous exercise during the day, and ibuprofen suspension can be used to alleviate the pain when it occurs.
