What causes fever and joint pain in children?

Children will experience many illnesses during their growth process, and the most common ones are fever and joint pain. Fever is generally a symptom caused by a child's cold, while there are many reasons for joint pain, such as joint pain caused by the child's development, etc. So what are the causes?

Research by physiologists has shown that children aged 1-3 years old gain weight faster than they grow taller, which is medically known as the first weight gain period. Children aged 4-7 years old often experience mild pain in their leg muscles and tendons due to the rapid growth of their height and the growth of bones in their lower limbs exceeding the growth of muscles. Some children are even unable to sleep at night due to the pain. This pain mainly occurs between the lower limbs and knee and ankle joints, and is more likely to occur at night.

As the child grows older and the rate of height growth slows down, the pain will gradually lessen and disappear. Parents just need to pay attention to controlling their children's activity level, reducing fatigue and tension, ensuring sufficient sleep time every day, and maintaining a good mood; when temporary pain occurs in the lower limbs, just gently massage the area with your hands, let the children read books, or tell them stories, let them do some light activities, slightly move their limbs, to distract their attention, you can effectively relieve the children's growing pains.

In addition to growing pains in children, reactive arthritis caused by abnormal response of the immune system due to factors such as infection is a common cause of joint pain in children.
