Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can a 11-month-old baby walk?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a ten-month-old child can currently learn to walk. It's a good idea to use a walker for the child, which is better for their legs. However, they cannot stand for too long. Additionally, during this period, you can supplement some calcium for the child and continue giving them cod liver oil. Make sure to get plenty of sunlight and observe the child.In your case, it may be physiological jaundice. In mild cases, it appears pale yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the torso, with the sclera also becoming yellowish. It usually disappears within 2 to 3 days and returns to normal skin color by the 5th or 6th day. In severe cases, the jaundice may start from the head and spread to the feet, covering the entire body. Vomit and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, with the duration lasting more than a week. In some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with the stool still appearing yellow and no bilirubin in the urine.
It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
