What causes calf muscle pain in children?

Many children have calf muscle pain, which seriously affects the health of the children. Therefore, timely treatment is needed to avoid affecting the patient's health, especially to avoid worsening of the disease. So what is the cause of calf muscle pain in children? Well, let me introduce to you the treatment methods below.

It may be due to excessive activity, which may lead to local ligament or muscle strain. There is also the possibility of low calcium. You can try local massage and hot compress, take calcium supplements, and see a doctor if necessary. Muscle pain should be distinguished from soreness, which is the result of lactic acid produced by sugar metabolism under anaerobic conditions. In this case, as long as you pay attention to relaxation exercises after exercise (stretching exercises and low-load repetitive exercises), you can also do some massage and replenish enough electrolytes (such as drinking some drinks such as Pulse), which can generally solve the problem. Through these activities, lactic acid will not be retained in muscle tissue, but will be carried to the liver through blood for further metabolism, so that the muscles will not be sore.

One is numbness and pain, characterized by tingling in the muscles the next day, and it hurts a lot when you move or press with your hands, and there is also a feeling of numbness. This is a mild muscle injury or strain caused by excessive exercise. It is recommended to conduct therapeutic rehabilitation according to sports injuries (there are many techniques, so I won’t go into details). In this case, it is best not to continue training to avoid causing greater muscle damage, which would be counterproductive.

The child's condition may be growing pains. In terms of treatment, since growing pains are a physiological phenomenon in the growth and development process of young children, they generally do not require treatment. When pain occurs, local massage or hot compress can be applied, or toys or games can be used to divert the child's attention. At the same time, you should explain it clearly to the child to eliminate his or her fear and let him or her know that this pain is a normal phenomenon in the process of growth and development and there is no need to be afraid. If the attacks are frequent and the pain is severe, you can take salicylic acid analgesics orally. If the pain persists after taking the medicine, a detailed examination should be performed to rule out pathological pain or other diseases.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I would like to introduce to you. Following the above methods for treatment can well ensure the patient's physical health and avoid dangerous situations caused by the above problems. In particular, patients should pay attention to timely treatment to ensure their physical health. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
