Patient's question:
The baby is four years old. The left leg walks outward, the toes point inward, and it's prone to falling. This has been going on for about a year. What could be the reason? Should I go to the hospital and see a pediatrician or an orthopedic doctor?Doctor's answer:
The child may have skeletal growth and development issues caused by calcium deficiency. Whether it falls within the normal range or needs correction, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly to check for trace elements and have an X-ray taken. Some children have self-corrected after the age of six.Recommendation: It is appropriate to perform corrections for the child. During daily activities, pay attention to special training, such as walking in a straight line, ensuring that both the child's heel and toes are aligned while walking back and forth. Gradually increase the pace from slow to fast.
