#asktheexpert My daughter is suffering from Knee pain when she stand a long time or after playing long time. pls let us know the reason and suggest some vitamin syrup

A. Knee pain in children after standing for a long time or playing could be due to several reasons, including: Vitamin D & Calcium Deficiency – Common in growing kids and can cause bone pain. Overuse or Growth Pain – Active children may experience pain due to rapid bone growth. Iron Deficiency (Anemia) – Can cause muscle fatigue and leg pain. Dehydration – Lack of water and electrolytes can lead to muscle cramps. Flat Feet or Poor Posture – Can put extra strain on the knees. What You Can Do: Ensure she gets enough calcium & vitamin D through diet (milk, cheese, yogurt, ragi, almonds, and sunlight exposure). Give her iron-rich foods like spinach, dates, jaggery, and beetroot. Encourage hydration with water, coconut water, and fresh juices. Do gentle stretching after playtime to prevent strain. Vitamin Syrup Suggestions: Look for syrups containing Vitamin D, Calcium, and Iron like: Zincovit (multivitamin with zinc) Calcimax P (Calcium & Vitamin D3) Ostocalcium B12 (For bone strength) Tonoferon (Iron syrup if she is anemic) Important: If pain persists, worsens, or she has swelling or difficulty walking, consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation. Let me know if you need more details!
