What is the reason why a five-month-old baby's legs make noise?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! My baby is already five months old. When I hold her and she pees, her legs often make a clicking sound when she kicks forward. I don't know what's going on? Also, is it okay to take X-rays at such a young age?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, this condition is likely caused by joint degenerative changes. In general, this situation usually requires an X-ray examination.
Conventional treatments include medications to protect joint cartilage, appropriate calcium supplementation, etc. Avoid overexertion and getting cold. You can engage in appropriate activities and maintain a light yet nutritious diet. Sunbathing is also beneficial. This condition follows the principle of "three parts treatment and seven parts care," so rest and warmth are very important. Combining acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can yield better comprehensive treatment outcomes.
