Patient's question:
Baby born on October 31, 2012, due to abnormal; discovered that the baby's legs and feet were squeezed, causing the soles of both feet to face each other. The child is still young, and the road ahead is long. What should I do? I sincerely ask for help from kind doctors.Doctor's answer:
Newborns often have slight inward turning of the feet, which gradually improves as they grow and develop. This is because, in the womb, a baby's legs often cross, causing the feet to turn inward. If the inward turning is still noticeable at 6 months of age, it may be considered congenital talipes equinovarus, and corrective shoes or surgical treatment may be necessary.If a child is affected by newborn diseases, the mother must take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment, avoiding the use of unproven advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is essential. For parents, it is crucial to provide the child with enough care and attention and to help them receive timely medical treatment as much as possible.
