How To Treat Pain In Back,leg And Arm?

My toddler has been c/o lower back pain for a couple of weeks now, as well as leg and arm pain. Also, today we noticed she has a lazy eye...probably unrelated but my mind is going crazy with all sorts of worries about brain/spine tumours.....should I be worried or just keep an eye on her?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

brain or spinal tumours will have a different presentation (headache, vomiting, weakness of face/limbs, seizure, visual disturbances). Back pain, leg pain and arm pains in toddlers may be a manifestation of calcium or vitamin D deficiency. If the symptoms are bothering, we can get a serum calcium and vitamin D level done. A blood count with ESR will rule out associated anemia and chronic inflammation(although less likely here). Kindly discuss with your pediatrician

Meanwhile, give him a healthy diet rich in fruits and green leafy vegetables. These will supply enough minerals and micro-nutrients needed for rapid growth in this age.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
