Why do children often complain of knee pain?

Compared with adults, children's physical fitness and functions are not fully developed, so their ability to resist and prevent diseases is relatively weak. Therefore, if you are not careful, your child will easily suffer from some diseases. For example, many parents have reported that their babies often feel knee pain. This situation must be taken seriously. Parents should discover and treat it in time. Let's first see why children often complain about knee pain!

According to our clinical experience, there are indeed some children between the ages of 3 and 10, or even older, who often complain of leg pain, which mostly occurs at night, mostly in the knee joints, and sometimes in the hip or ankle joints; it can be unilateral or bilateral at the same time. The main symptom during an attack is pain, mostly soreness, but there is no redness or swelling in the joints at the attack site. The pain often lasts for a period of time and then disappears automatically. After disappearing, it does not affect walking and playing. The intervals between attacks can be long or short, ranging from a few days to a few months.

The reason for this phenomenon is currently unknown. Most of them are related to excessive daytime activity, while others believe that it is a normal phenomenon in the development of the nervous system. Because it has no adverse effect on the child's development, this phenomenon that occurs during the growth process is called "growing pains." You can supplement a little vitamin C appropriately, and no special treatment is necessary.

As a parent, when your child tells you that he or she has pain in both knees, it is important to promptly check the location of the pain and whether it is accompanied by fever, swelling, etc. If not, you can comfort the child and try to divert his or her attention, such as telling stories, watching TV, listening to music, etc., which can often make the child's symptoms disappear. If there are indeed redness, swelling and other symptoms, or the frequency of attacks increases, the symptoms become more severe, especially when walking is affected, then you should take your child to a specialist hospital for examination in time.

What is the reason why children often complain of knee pain? The above is a detailed introduction. It can be seen that there are many inducing reasons. Some are because children are too tired when playing, and some are because the body is in a special period of growth and causes calcium deficiency. Of course, some are caused by lack of vitamins. In short, different reasons have different countermeasures, and parents must learn to distinguish and choose.
