What Causes Cracking Sound In Neck Of A Child?

Hi, my 6 year old has been saying her neck feels funny and moving it up and down. She said it made noise. I heard nothing. As of today though I can suddenly hear LOUD popping as she does it. Each time she does it. Is this "normal" like cracking your knuckles or should I take her to urgent care? She complains of no pain, but says it feels "funny" (I suspect stiff)

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, cracking sound during movement of neck or other joints can occur in calcium deficiency. Kindly get the calcium levels in your child. Depending on the report calcium syrup needs to be started. An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. Take care.
