Question
My 9-year-old child often experiences knee pain at night, and the symptoms disappear the next morning. What could be the cause?
Answer
If the child is growing rapidly recently, it may be due to growth pains; if they are very active during the day, it could also cause pain. Growth pains have various causes. If the child is diagnosed with growth pains, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, perform gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
