Why does my baby’s knee hurt?

Because babies are still very young, they do not know how to take care of their bodies. Even if they feel unwell, they will not tell their parents. At this time, parents should pay close attention to see if the children have any abnormalities. For example, some babies have a fever and feel pain in their knees. How should parents deal with such situations? Experts suggest that the cause should be found first.

What to do if your baby has a cold, fever, and knee pain

The popping of children's joints is mostly due to the friction between cartilage, muscles, ligaments and tendons. If the child does not feel pain, no treatment is needed. Generally, the popping will gradually disappear as the child grows older. If a baby has leg pain in the middle of the night, it is mostly growing pains caused by calcium deficiency. During the growth and development stage of children, their metabolism is vigorous and periosteum stimulation can cause leg joint pain. This is a physiological phenomenon, which is often called "growing pains."

It is related to the increased activity of children, rapid growth of long bones, and uncoordinated growth and development of local muscles and tendons. Growing pains are generally mild and can last for several months or longer. The pain often occurs in the afternoon and evening and disappears after a night's rest.

Therefore, if you just have leg pain and can't find the exact location, you can let the leg pain relieve itself and disappear by taking calcium supplements, reducing the amount of activity, and taking hot baths. However, excessive activity in children can easily cause excessive stretching of the epiphysis, leading to epiphysiitis, which manifests as severe pain when climbing stairs and steps, resulting in lameness. You can give your baby Longmu Zhuanggu Granules to supplement calcium and vitamin D to improve the symptoms of growing pains that occur during rapid development.
