Patient's question:
The child is just 2 years old and has been walking awkwardly recently. They are not as agile as before, and they are a bit slow to run and reluctant to walk. What could be the reason?Past treatment history and effectiveness: The child had blood tests at the hospital and was found to be slightly iron-deficient. However, the doctor couldn’t determine if it was related to the legs.
What kind of help is desired: What could cause leg problems?
Doctor's answer:
It may be due to calcium deficiency. If a blood test clearly shows obvious calcium deficiency, it is generally advisable to actively supplement calcium. This can be done orally without injections or intravenous fluids, and a common method is to consume some calcium gluconate.Suggestions: There are many sources of calcium in food, such as dairy products, dairy products, lotus root powder, green leafy vegetables, root vegetables, soybeans, etc. In particular, tofu and soy milk should be consumed regularly, so there will never be a shortage of calcium supplements.
