Patient's question:
My cousin's daughter is three years old this year. She still cannot walk but can stand up. However, she cannot take a step forward. The specific details are not very clear. She has been to a large hospital, and they said it is congenital, caused by calcium deficiency. I would like to ask the experts, is there any method to help her walk?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Under normal circumstances, children can walk steadily at the age of three. The situation you mentioned suggests there might be an issue with the child's brain. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a check-up on brain development. There is also a possibility that the symptoms are caused by zinc or calcium deficiency. In this case, it is best to have a brain CT scan at the hospital and also get blood tests, including a complete blood count and trace element analysis, to determine the specific cause for targeted treatment. It is also important to pay attention to increasing nutrition. On a daily basis, it is advisable to supplement with zinc and calcium appropriately.
