#asktheexperts Hello doctor, my son who is 5 years old will cry at night daily mentioning that he has pain in his legs Can you please help me understand if this is normal and what I can do for him as he really suffers Thanks!

A. I must tell you a lot of parents do not know that kids actually suffer from the pain which is called growth pain from the age of 3 1/2 years to 13 years of age because this is the age with his body takes maximum of its growth the bones are increasing and also it’s very difficult sometimes for kids to manage so you can massage regularly in the night with warm mustard oil which will help in relaxing the legs and pain
