Growth pain should be promptly relieved through methods such as local heat application and medication. You can appropriately use a warm towel for heat compress, which helps ease the baby's tension and reduce discomfort caused by pain. When massaging, use gentle movements. If the baby is very active, giving them a bath with warm water may help—allowing the baby to soak in warm water longer. For severe pain symptoms, pain-relief ointments or muscle-relaxing wash solutions can be used.
