Growing pains are physiological pains caused by children’s rapid musculoskeletal growth.

Growing pains usually occur at night and do not interfere with normal activities during the day. Growing pains are difficult to diagnose through screening methods and can only be diagnosed by ruling out other conditions. Growing pains are not harmful to growth and development, and usually do not require treatment. They can be relieved by distraction or soothing, and the use of pain medication or calcium tablets is not recommended. It is recommended that the patient go to the regular hospital in time to exclude the early symptoms of diseases similar to growing pains, and follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic treatment.
