Question
What should I do if my child feels numbness in their feet and walks on their tiptoes?
Answer
If a child feels numbness in their feet, helping them move their legs can help alleviate the symptoms, which may be caused by insufficient blood supply. Children of such a young age generally do not have vascular diseases, and most of the time, the numbness is due to compression. It is important to note that if a child maintains an incorrect posture while sitting or lying down, it may compress the blood circulation in the legs, potentially causing a blockage. When the entire leg is not adequately supplied with blood, numbness occurs, and it becomes more uncomfortable when they step on something. It is recommended that you carefully observe the specific circumstances of your child’s numbness to treat it effectively.
