Question
What are the reasons for leg bone pain in children?
Answer
Both legs hurt. Analysis of the condition: According to your description, it should be due to calcium deficiency.

As the bones grow rapidly, the surrounding nerves, tendons, and muscles grow relatively slower, causing pulling and pain. To prevent calcium and trace element deficiencies in children, attention should be paid to diverse dietary intake, a reasonable combination of coarse and fine grains, and balanced intake of vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs, and other nutrients. Correct bad habits such as picky eating and selective eating. It is recommended to regularly consume foods rich in calcium such as shellfish, soybeans, milk, nuts, kelp, beef, etc.; and zinc-rich foods such as oysters, liver, fish, high-zinc eggs, chestnuts, walnuts, red dates, yellow eels, sea cucumber, yeast zinc, etc. Additionally, getting plenty of sunlight can effectively help with calcium absorption. Lifestyle care: It is best to engage in outdoor activities for two hours a day, which can strengthen the body and also help prevent rickets.
