[|Human|] Hi, my 5-year-old son has been complaining of pain in his leg for a few days off and on, though his leg is not visibly bruised or swollen. The pain can last for more than an hour but will then go away for a few hours or even a whole day. Today he began complaining that his cheek hurts the same way, although it s not bruised or visibly swollen. He s also become extremely tired, sleeping 12 hours a night where he would usually only sleep for 10 or 10.5, and ASKING to take a nap every afternoon for an hour or more (extremely unusual behavior for him, since he stopped taking naps about 1.5 years ago). Is this a growth spurt, or could it be something more serious? My son s height and weight are normal (though in the 95th percentile for both) and his appetite and energy level (other than the unusual amount of sleep he requires) haven t changed.
[|AI|]  Hi, Occasional pain in legs in a 5 yrs old child may be normal occurring as a result of subtle injury or over exertion but if it occurs more often then it indicates towards calcium deficiency or protein deficiency. You need to add some protein and calcium rich foods in his diet and give calcium and cited supplementation for 4-6 weeks if the symptoms improve it's good, otherwise get clinical examination done. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
