Can children's growing pains be relieved by soaking their feet more often?

Growing pains can be said to be a problem that children will definitely encounter during their growth, especially after exercise, the symptoms of growth pain may become more severe, but childhood growing pains should not have any bad effects on the child's life.

Growing pains often occur between the ages of 2 and 13, and are mainly manifested as unexplained pain around the knee joint or in the front of the calf in children, but there is no local redness, swelling or tenderness, and activities are normal. The pain usually occurs around dusk. Excessive exercise and fatigue can aggravate the symptoms. The pain will ease on its own after rest and disappear completely the next morning. The reason is that children grow fast in height during this period. Because bones grow rapidly, the surrounding nerves, tendons, and muscles grow relatively slowly, thus causing a pulling pain.

The cause of growing pains is not bone fatigue, but soft tissue fatigue. The important thing to treat growing pains in children is rest. If you have discomfort in your knees or calves, don't force yourself to exercise. Before going to bed every night, you can soak your calves and feet in hot water, but if you are not tired, you should be encouraged to move more appropriately.
