What are the symptoms of growing pains?

Growth pain, also known as growing pain, primarily occurs during children's growth and development stages, especially in children aged 3 to 6 years. Its main symptoms are as follows: 1. **Lower limb pain**: Pain usually occurs in both lower limbs, especially in the calves, and is characterized by intermittent pain. The pain is often described as soreness or aching, lasting from several minutes to one hour, and may recur several times to over ten times per day. 2. **Muscle pain**: The painful areas may exhibit varying degrees of muscular pain. Joints or bones may also be involved; however, the painful areas typically do not show obvious signs of heat or swelling. 3. **Worsening of symptoms at night**: Due to increased physical activity during the day, children may not easily notice the pain while awake, but the pain may intensify at night, affecting sleep. If the pain persists or worsens, or if other symptoms are present, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation.
