Question
How should one treat leg cramps and cold sensations in children at night?
Answer
Leg cramps in children at night are often caused by a lack of calcium, exposure to cold, or compression of regional nerves and blood vessels. It is important to ensure adequate calcium intake, get plenty of sunlight, maintain warmth, and adjust sitting or sleeping positions to avoid compressing nerves and blood vessels. Additionally, you can apply cold compresses or massage to the affected muscles to improve regional blood circulation. Excessive sweating leading to sodium deficiency may also trigger this symptom, so it is recommended to drink a little salted water. If the problem persists, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a detailed examination and treatment after determining the cause. Wishing you good health.
