Question

My child experiences knee pain when coming down the stairs after school, which is not painful at night and has been going on for a week.

Answer

Condition Analysis: Hello, based on the description, your child may be experiencing growing pains. This type of pain usually occurs after dinner and is related to increased activity during the day. Massage and heat application can help alleviate the pain. Additionally, if no bone problems are found, calcium deficiency is also a possible cause. It is recommended to take calcium supplements orally and observe for a period of time. The child may grow faster during this period, leading to muscle and bone pain. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to undergo further examinations, such as X-rays and trace element testing.
