What is the reason for a 5.5-year-old child to often feel leg weakness and fall when walking?

Patient's question:

A 5-and-a-half-year-old child often feels weak in their legs and trips, should they go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to improve? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on your description of the issue, the child is 5 and a half years old and often feels weak in their feet while walking, leading to frequent falls. You should have an X-ray taken to check for any abnormalities in the ankle joints, and also undergo a head CT scan to rule out any brain diseases. It is still necessary to actively perform a brain CT scan and conduct a trace element test to confirm the diagnosis before determining specific treatment and medication. It is recommended to visit a good hospital in your local area.
