Question
Why do children’s legs often cramp?
Answer
Hello, frequent leg cramps in children may be due to calcium deficiency. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, excessive sweating, or cramping. It is advisable to undergo a blood calcium test to help confirm the diagnosis. Calcium supplements like Gezhonggai can be effective. At the same time, you should eat more foods rich in calcium, such as fish and bone broth. Pay attention to rest and nutrition. Maintain a balanced diet, increase nutrition, supplement vitamins, pay attention to local warmth, avoid dampness, apply cold compresses early on, and hot compresses later on. Use external applications like Bruise Relief Tincture, Honghua Oil, and take medications such as Fenbid, Diclofenac, Sanqi Medicine, Clonazepam, Vitamin E, C, Yunnan Baiyao, etc.
