Question
My 10-year-old child has been frequently experiencing cramps in their left ankle, unsure if it’s related to skipping rope. They also have cramps while sitting during the day and sometimes hear sounds. The cramps in their left ankle have worsened over the past two days, and they have not yet sought medical attention.
Answer
Based on the current symptoms, it may be a manifestation of calcium deficiency during growth. It is recommended to get more rest and supplement nutrition by eating more fruits and vegetables, and taking calcium gluconate solution internally. Local cold compresses and massage can be performed to relieve symptoms, and X-ray examination and trace element testing may be necessary for a definitive diagnosis if needed.
