What causes children's weak legs?

Weak feet is a common problem in children. Of course, there are certain reasons for this problem, and the most common cause of children's weak feet is calcium deficiency. It is important to know that calcium deficiency will not only cause weak legs, but also lead to other problems in children's physical health. In addition, problems such as muscle weakness and leg injuries can also cause children's feet to become weak.

1. What is the reason for children with calcium deficiency to have weak feet?

Children with calcium deficiency are prone to sweating, sleep restlessly and are easily awakened, suffer from muscle aches, have slow bone development, become irritable and cry, and have difficulty concentrating.

Recommendation: If you are calcium deficient, you can take bone strengthening granules, which are mainly used to treat and prevent rickets and osteomalacia in children; they also have therapeutic effects on children's excessive sweating, night terrors, loss of appetite, indigestion, developmental delay and other symptoms.

Calcium deficiency precautions

1. More calcium is not always better

There is a specified amount of calcium that children need to intake every day. Excessive supplementation may easily cause toxic side effects and make it difficult to absorb other trace elements such as iron and zinc. Therefore, the more calcium supplementation is not necessarily better.

2. Eat less of these foods

Substances in certain foods will affect the absorption and utilization of calcium, so eat less of them. For example, foods high in salt and protein will cause calcium loss and affect the effect of calcium supplementation.

Foods containing large amounts of oxalic acid and phytic acid, such as spinach, rapeseed, bran, etc., will also affect the absorption of calcium, so try not to eat them with calcium-supplementing foods, and try to eat less during the calcium supplementation period.

3. Do not take calcium tablets on an empty stomach

Calcium preparations can be taken with meals, after meals, or between meals. Adequate food will interfere with oxalic acid, which in turn will promote calcium absorption. Since the blood calcium concentration is lower at night, taking calcium tablets before going to bed is also very beneficial for absorption.

2. What is the reason for children's weak legs: muscle weakness

The symptoms of myasthenia gravis in children are characterized by involvement of the upper muscle groups, mainly the limbs. In mild cases, the muscles of the limbs are slightly affected, resulting in inability to walk or raise hands for a long time, and easy fatigue when climbing stairs. It is often accompanied by involvement of the extraocular muscles, and there is generally no difficulty in chewing, swallowing, or articulation. Severe cases often require bed rest. In addition to extraocular muscle involvement, they are often accompanied by difficulties in chewing, swallowing, and articulation, as well as varying degrees of respiratory muscle weakness.

Recommendation: Myasthenia gravis in children is not a minor illness. Parents need to pay attention to it and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment to prevent this disease from causing serious harm to their children.

3. What causes children’s weak legs: Leg injuries

It may be due to a leg injury that the child is timid and afraid to walk up the stairs due to pain.

Suggestion: Take your child to the hospital for a check-up and let the doctor help find out the child’s specific condition. After the diagnosis is confirmed, provide symptomatic treatment according to the doctor’s advice.
