What to do about children with unexplained calf pain

Children’s calf pain for no reason is mostly considered as muscle soreness or growing pains after exercise, but it can also be caused by osteomyelitis and so on.
1. Children are generally active, and after exercise, lactic acid builds up in the body, which can cause children’s calf pain, which can be relieved by massage and hot compresses.
2. Children’s bones grow faster, and there may be a lack of coordination between the growth and development of bones and local muscles and tendons, which in turn leads to physiological pain, called growing pains. Symptoms such as redness, swelling and fever do not accompany the area around the painful part. The pain mostly occurs at night. Localized hot massage to promote blood circulation, as well as more protein, vitamins, etc. can help relieve the symptoms.
3. Calf pain caused by osteomyelitis is often accompanied by fever, and there is a history of trauma, surgery and other medical history of the risk of blood-borne infections, local redness, swelling, pus and other symptoms may occur. It is recommended to consult the hospital in time and treat under the guidance of the doctor.
If the baby has calf pain, it is recommended to consult the doctor in the hospital to clarify the cause and take appropriate measures to deal with it.
