Muscle Pain

Asked for Male, 7 years

My son is Ma shaa Allah 16 yrs old and he often suffers from muscle cramping in calf and thighs especially when he has sports period in school. What can I do to ease his pain?

Dear Patient,

I'm so sorry to hear that. Test his calcium and vitamin D levels and write back to us with reports. Cramps are due to decreased water or salts in the body.
When he goes to play sports you can give him fresh lemonade with some salt and sugar in it to avoid dehydration. Try using energile or give him cucumber/watermelons etc foods rich in water (but not just pure water as it would dilute the blood more hence salts need to be present in it too) to keep him hydrated. Avoid fizzy drinks.
