Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, keeping the line breaks as they are:Okay, recently I've noticed that when I'm walking with him, he always seems like he's tripping underfoot and rushes forward. Sometimes he just falls flat. Today I watched him closely, and sometimes his toes are slightly pointed inward in a shape, but it's not very noticeable. On a 10-minute walk, by the end, he needs me to carry him. Recently, he's been coughing and has been taking Chinese medicine. His diet is normal, and his urination and defecation are also normal. Could you please tell me what this might be, how serious it is, what possible consequences there might be, and which department should I take him to see?
Doctor's answer:
Behavioral abnormalities require early diagnosis and treatment. Recommendations:1. Pay attention to early diagnosis and treatment for behavioral abnormalities, especially regarding motor development.
2. Based on your situation, at 3.4 years old, you recently noticed that when walking with him, he often seems as if he’s tripping forward, sometimes even collapsing to the ground. Today, you observed that sometimes his toes are slightly turned inward in an "X" shape, but it’s not very noticeable. On a 10-minute walk, he needed to be carried in the last part; this is abnormal and may indicate muscle weakness or neuromuscular issues.
3. It is recommended to take the child to the pediatric neurology department of a hospital for consultation with a doctor.
