POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. It sounds like your 2-year-8-month-old son is experiencing leg pain at night, which could be due to growing pains. Growing pains are common in toddlers and preschoolers, typically affecting the muscles in the legs, particularly the shins, calves, and behind the knees. They usually occur at night and are often relieved by massaging the affected area, applying warmth (like a warm compress), or using pain-relieving creams like Oye. These pains can occur as part of the normal growth process, especially in active children. However, if the pain seems severe, lasts for a long time, or is associated with swelling or limping, it may be a good idea to consult a pediatrician to rule out other potential causes, such as muscle strains, nutritional deficiencies, or any underlying health issues. Regular stretching exercises, ensuring your child is getting enough calcium and vitamin D, and a good bedtime routine may help ease these symptoms.
