Patient's question:
Baby is 70 days old. The past two days, for some reason, whenever the baby moves the right leg, the right thigh makes a clicking sound a few times. It makes a noise every time it moves, but the baby isn't crying. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is suspected that the baby may have hip dysplasia. It is recommended to compare the legs a few times to check if they are of equal length. If they are not of equal length, it is advised to go to the hospital for X-rays to thoroughly examine for any hip dislocation.
