Question
My child is around 5 years old and has been complaining of leg pain recently. Which department should I take them to for a child with frequent knee pain?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of a calcium deficiency, a blood calcium test can be done to aid in diagnosis. You can take calcium tablets such as Gaozhonggai, which are said to be effective. Increase the intake of high-calcium foods like fish and bone soup. Pay attention to rest and nutrition. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects patients’ work. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It’s important to eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more calcium-rich foods to avoid or reduce the chance of recurrence.
