What Causes Sudden Body Stiffness With Pain And Tiredness?
Hi, my 6yr old girl who hardly ever falls sick got out of the pool after a short swim and started eating while standing and before long she looked stiff and was just groaning. In few seconds it was over though she looked tied. It took her 1515mins and she was back to eating and into the pool, should I be worried and why did this happen?

hi, body stiffness in a 6 year old child can occur due to calcium deficiency. it should also be differentiated from seizures. you should do blood test like calcium and Vitamin D levels. Hemoglobin levels should also be done. give diet rich in calcium. Based on above reports child should be started on calcium syrup. I hope this will help you. Take care.
