Is it normal for a child to walk on their toes?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Is it normal for children to walk with their toes touching the ground?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, walking on the toes with the foot pointing downward should be a congenital developmental issue or skeletal deformity. It is recommended to have X-rays taken at the hospital for examination, and if necessary, consider corrective surgical treatment.
Your condition may be gingivitis. It is suggested to rinse your mouth with water containing metronidazole for treatment, which can be effective. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in daily life. Intravenous antibiotic treatment can also be used.
