Why does a 19-month-old child walk with a sway?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine recently encountered this issue and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was experiencing some pain and couldn't sleep at night, which was affecting his state. Why does a 19-month-old child walk in a swaying manner?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also a very good calcium-rich food. It not only provides calcium but also helps regulate intestinal function with its beneficial bacteria, making it suitable for all age groups.
In your case, it is necessary to visit a hospital for examination, as it may be caused by gout. Oral administration of colchicine is required for treatment, along with enhanced nutrition, adequate rest, and supplementation of vitamins and trace elements.
