Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my child just turned 3 months old. At birth, his left foot was slightly larger than his right foot. So far, the left foot is 2 centimeters larger than the right foot, with the length being almost the same, just that the left foot is thicker than the right. He had a red birthmark on his left leg from birth. Could you please explain what this is? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is generally not much difference. If necessary, seek detailed examination in surgery. Your feet are unlikely to change that much, unless your right foot is swollen, or the shoes you bought have a slight difference between the two. If your right foot is swollen, it's important to check the condition of the kidneys and lower limb venous return. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, don't be anxious. It's important to take the child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and take medication according to the doctor's guidance.
