Patient's question:
My child just turned one month old, and recently I noticed that the right leg is slightly bent and thinner. Reacting to the knee and foot soles is slower than the other leg. Local hospitals say it's too young to see, and they don't know what the illness is.Other symptoms: excessive sweating at the back of the neck, frequent night waking, often crying, sometimes turning red with difficulty breathing.
Sincerely seeking advice, please reply!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description of the situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a trace element test to see if it is related to calcium deficiency.If the baby's calves are still bent now, it is normal. This condition usually straightens after the baby turns one year old. If the baby is calcium deficient, it may easily lead to the development of O-shaped legs. It is also important to pay attention to giving the baby fish oil, which helps with calcium absorption and promotes better development.
