Question

My child always says they have leg pain and ankle pain, and sometimes they cry at night. I would like to inquire about what this situation might be, as they are currently 4.5 years old.

Answer

After excluding skeletal diseases through examination, the child’s leg and ankle pain may be due to soft tissue damage caused by malnutrition. It is recommended to have a balanced diet, increase nutrition, and supplement vitamins C, B, D, calcium, and iron. Additionally, regional heat therapy and massage can often improve the condition.
