A one-year-old child cannot straighten their index and little fingers normally.

Patient's question:

A one-year-old child cannot straighten their index and little fingers normally. X-rays show good bone development, but could there be a problem with the tendons? They use the front three fingers to pick things up.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, you can have a blood calcium test to help with diagnosis. You can take calcium supplements like Gai Zhong Gai, which are quite effective. Also, eat more calcium-rich foods such as fish, bone broth, etc. Pay attention to rest and nutrition.
