Growing pains mostly refer to pediatric growing pains, which refers to pain around or on the front side of the knee joint in children. The pain mostly occurs at night and is associated with excessive activity during the day, manifesting as sudden onset of knee or calf pain at night. Before diagnosing growing pains, you should first rule out trauma and other diseases, and if necessary, go to a nearby hospital to clarify the cause. For children diagnosed with growing pains, local massage and hot compresses can be applied to divert the child’s attention and avoid strenuous activities in the painful area, while strengthening nutrition.
