Patient's question:
My daughter is almost 13 months old, but I don't dare let her walk on the ground because she has developed pigeon toes due to calcium deficiency. The doctor examined her head and said it's rickets. Now, she has prescribed some medication and mentioned that vitamin D3 injections are needed. I was wondering if her feet will return to normal once her calcium levels are corrected. I would appreciate it if the experts could kindly provide an answer. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
When a child is old enough to walk, they must be taught to walk. However, if they are lacking calcium, it is important to treat it actively. There is no need to worry; it will gradually improve.
