Question

My son is 6.5 years old, 120 cm tall, and weighs 25 kg. He has a good appetite and does not lack meat intake, but lately, he often complains about soreness in the muscle above his ankle on the lower part of his calf. I’m not sure what the cause might be. He has never received any related treatment, and I’m not sure if there are any recommended examination programs or common causes?

Answer

Based on the description, the child may be suffering from calf pain due to a deficiency of trace elements. It is recommended to conduct a trace element test and consider administering a multivitamin containing zinc, iron, and calcium. In terms of diet, it’s important to have a diverse range and consume enough calcium, while also ensuring warmth. Wishing him a healthy and happy recovery.
