Secondly, if children are too active during the day, their muscles will easily become tired and painful over time. A lot of activity will also cause the accumulation of acidic metabolic products such as lactic acid, which can also cause muscle soreness. The most important thing is to rest in time and don't over-exercise. Appropriate supplementation of calcium and oral vitamin C. Use a water heater to apply heat at night.
