Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old this year. Earlier, I noticed that he always falls down. Yesterday, I found that he fell three times in a row. I don't know what the reason is?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of a child stumbling frequently when walking is usually a sign of calcium deficiency. It's important to supplement calcium for the child. If the legs suddenly become weak, it's necessary to seek immediate medical attention for a comprehensive examination. First, check for trace elements; if calcium deficiency is detected, supplement it promptly. Additionally, it's essential to evaluate whether there are symptoms of muscle weakness or malnutrition. Currently, a check-up is required to confirm the diagnosis, as this alone cannot definitively determine the issue.
