Possible causes and relief methods for leg cramps in children: 1. Cold exposure to the legs: Apply warm compresses, soak feet in warm water, or perform local massage to relieve muscle spasms and alleviate pain. 2. Calcium deficiency: Treat under a doctor's guidance with oral supplements, while increasing intake of calcium-rich foods. 3. Muscle strain: Ensure the child rests promptly, avoids strenuous activities, and consider leg massage; pain should improve once symptoms subside. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
