Question
How to treat a child with low fever and sore legs?
Answer
The child may be experiencing growth pains, which are caused by the uneven growth rate of muscles and bones during periods of rapid growth. This type of pain usually occurs in the legs, rather than at the joints. Growth pains do not require special treatment; allowing the child to rest and applying heat or cold compresses to relieve the pain can help. Additionally, ensuring a balanced diet and consuming adequate calcium and vitamin D can also aid in pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to take the child to see a doctor to rule out other issues.
