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 urinates, 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 and nutritious diet. Sunbathing is also beneficial. This condition is often treated with a "three parts treatment and seven parts care" approach. Rest and keeping warm are very important, and combining acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can yield better comprehensive treatment effects.
