It is usually caused by strenuous exercise or other reasons. Children may experience knee pain when they have a cold, so it is important to keep them warm. Growing pains can cause knee pain in children, and patients need to go to the hospital for timely examination to confirm the diagnosis. Strenuous exercise or trauma can cause knee joint injuries; topical medications can be applied locally, such as human epidermal growth factor gel.
