Pediatrician Fall River, MA., Dr. Ali Tural says children's early body pains, are "growing pains." For toddlers 2 years and older, bone cartilage above and below the knee joints take abuse from jumping up and down, which can result in pain and the inability to fall asleep. Parents should massage the affected area and give the child an ibuprofen to reduce pain. Kids pointing to the knees indicating pain, would benefit from a massage to relieve the pain, induce circulation, and provide comfort so the child can rest. During adolescence, (a time of rapid growth), growing pains can return due to the activity of the growth plates, and the speed of growth. Pediatrician Fall River MA, Dr. Ali Tural advises that pain management with ibuprofen and massaging can help the alleviate the discomfort resulting from pressure bearing activities and sports affecting the long bones. Pediatric services are available at Tural Pediatric of Fall River, MA.
