Patient's question:
My baby is 1 year and 4 months old. He started walking at 1 year, but his walking posture isn't very good—his waist leans forward, and he has obvious O-shaped legs. I'm very worried. I took him to the hospital, and after an X-ray, the doctor said it's caused by rickets. They first recommended taking or injecting 300,000 units of vitamin D3, along with calcium and zinc supplements. The doctor also suggested I take my baby for daily physical therapy to massage his calf muscles.I want to ask, what is the best treatment for a baby in my baby's condition? I sincerely hope you can give me the best possible answer. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
It's hard to say about this situation. It is necessary to undergo a comprehensive examination in the surgical department to determine whether there is a cause.
