Question
My child has been complaining about leg pain recently and is growing very fast. I’m worried this might be growth pain. Are there any methods to alleviate this kind of pain?
Answer
Growth pains usually do not require special treatment. When a child feels pain, reducing activity levels and providing localized massage and heat therapy can effectively alleviate the pain. Parents can use a warm towel to massage or apply heat to the painful area to soothe emotions and reduce discomfort. Pay attention to the pressure during massage, using a gentle approach to help the child fall asleep.
