Question
A full-term, two-month-old female infant has not developed bones in her toes, lacks nails, and has a smaller size. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
For infants with undeveloped toe bones, relying solely on care is unlikely to restore normal walking activities in the short term. Early and timely use of traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments is the only hope. It is advisable to avoid consuming high-calcium foods (such as bone broth, milk, calcium tablets) and to use Western medicine cautiously, especially hormones and painkillers. It is recommended to consult a doctor for the best treatment plan and to strengthen care for the child in daily life.
