Fibula pain- Pls help
Hi Doctors, My 5 yr old kid have been complaining fibula pain more than a year. Last Jan we have done his blood test ( CBC & Vitamin D3) Found vitamin D3 deficiency & CBC was ok except bit elevated platelets count ( he had cough that time) Been to pediatrician and he told us that kid will have pain as he has vitamin D3 deficiency and nothing to worry and gave us some vitamin D3 medicine and it healed the pain and he didn't complain the pain till this month.he gets pain mostly at night after his outdoor activities ( playing in park etc.) Pain is there for 2 hours and finds difficult to walk and next morning he walks properly. Can you please suggest the treatment? Do we need to take him to the pediatrician again orthopedic? Pls help

The pain not persisting until morning strongly suggests growing pains, these are physiological but maybe troublesome in some cases like in yours. It doesn't seem to be of major concern.
Next Steps
you could try to soothe the pain with a gentle massage.
Health Tips
look out for persistent pain. you will need a physical evaluation in that case.

Kindly get a repeat vitamin D3 levels done to determine whether the deficiency is gone. Also start him on calcium supplements since he may be experiencing growing pains
