There is no evidence that waxing can be painful. So you don’t know exactly what causes the growing pains. It is assumed that the ligaments and tendons are stretched, which cannot grow as quickly during the growth spurt.
Symptoms of growing pains
Pediatricians speak of growing pains when the pain occurs in the evening or during the night after an active day and is gone the next morning.
Further indications of growing pains are wandering pain (changing sides) and a fluctuation in the duration of the pain. Growing pains do not cause swelling, redness, fever, or chills.
Further tips and information on treatment
Growing pains should be taken seriously by parents. However, if the pain is severe or lasts longer than two weeks, parents should definitely consult a doctor to rule out serious diseases of the skeletal system such as bone inflammation or rheumatic diseases. These diseases must be recognized and treated immediately after the so-called exclusion diagnosis.
