What Is The Treatment For Severe Pain In The Legs And Arms Of A Child?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My 3 year old son wakes up in the night with extreme pain in the legs or arms. I noticed that this happens only when he has has rice or potatos to eat anytime during the day. I stopped both these for several days and no pain. I introduced rice (basmati) and he again woke up with pain. I tried this several times in last few months and result is the same. However, items prepared with ground rice or rice flakes (rice pasta etc) have never caused problems. It s not growing up pains for sure. He also has milk & wheat allergy. It would help if he could have some whole grain rice dishes. Any help?

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

The basic rule is if one is allergic to something, keep away from it. If he can't take rice, if it creates problems, there is no need to give him that.

Take care
