What causes knee pain in children?

Nowadays, many friends suffer from diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. When this disease occurs, patients often experience joint pain. Most of the patients are middle-aged and elderly people, but there are also children. So many friends would like to say that children will also have symptoms such as soreness, so many friends want to know what is causing children's knee pain. Let’s take a look at some of the information about this child’s knee pain.

This is typical growing pains in children, which usually occurs in children aged 4-12 years old. This condition is intermittent pain, mostly occurring in the knee joints, thighs, calves, and groin, and each attack lasts for 10 minutes to 1 hour. It mostly occurs in the afternoon and evening, especially when you are too active during the day, but the pain will disappear after a good night's sleep. The causes of the disease are the following two factors: First, because children are in a period of rapid growth and development, the bones of the lower limbs grow rapidly, while the surrounding nerves, muscles, tendons and joint capsules grow relatively slowly, causing the bones to pull the surrounding tissues and cause traction pain. Secondly, because children exercise a lot and are tireless, over time a large amount of acidic metabolic products accumulate between tissues, which can also cause muscle soreness. You can give your child an appropriate amount of vitamin C and some milk, or you can soak your child's feet in hot water and do local massage.

Regarding the question of what causes knee pain in children, I believe that friends who have read the above content have a certain understanding. In fact, if the child does not have a serious fall or fracture, then the occasional knee pain is not a big problem. Generally, children will inevitably encounter this situation during their development period, so friends do not need to worry too much.
