The baby is 3 years old and 2 months old this year. He has enough sleep, but he often tells me that his leg hurts, sometimes his foreleg hurts, and sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night to say that his leg hurts. I suspect that he is short of calcium and wants to check it. May I ask if I need to do what project check, is it trace elements or bone density? This situation lasted for less than half a year.

Hello, thank you for the description.
According to your situation, it is roughly possible that the child may only suffer from growing pain. Growing pain is very common in children. Although children will feel pain, it has no effect.
Growing pain often occurs in the evening after exercise or before going to bed. Children often cannot tell you exactly where it hurts, sometimes one leg hurts, sometimes the other.
It is suggested that you observe the child. If he does not say arthralgia, nor does he find local swelling or aggravation of pain, and everything else is normal, it doesn’t matter.
This kind of situation will gradually disappear as the child grows up. It is suggested that you can use a hot towel to make hot compress for the baby to relieve this discomfort. You can also play some music to help the baby’s meat and divert your attention when the child is uncomfortable.
Growing pain has nothing to do with calcium deficiency. If you suspect that your child lacks vitamins, you can take your child to have a trace element examination, but bone mineral density is not needed.
