Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, without any apparent reason. How should the treatment be approached if there is a discrepancy in the hip joints?Doctor's answer:
It is important to seek timely treatment. Most cases under 2 years old can be treated conservatively. Common methods include back braces, fixation frames, and frog. Based on my personal experience, frog is much more effective than external fixation activity frames. Your condition may be caused by calcium deficiency and may require oral calcium gluconate and other medications. It is necessary to enhance nutrition, avoid picky eating, drink more bone broth, get more sun exposure, and consume more vitamin-rich foods.
