Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain In A Child
Question: My son is 8 and has woke up for 3 nights with pain in his knee. He feels fine in morning and no injury or swelling.
Brief Answer:
Likely to be growing pain
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Your son is possibly complaining of growth pain. Your son is in the growing age and growth involves the ends of the long bones and that includes the knees. On the other hand, growth primarily occurs at night. Such a pain is normal and nothing to be concerned about.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
