Question

How should clubfoot be treated? The child has been experiencing this condition for a while, and the parents are worried that it might become severe. Please provide medical advice.

Answer

Hello, based on the information you provided, we first need to confirm the child’s age and the condition of two kidneys separated by 7 millimeters. It is recommended to undergo kidney function tests, including routine urine tests, to rule out the possibility of urinary tract infections and kidney stones. If the test results are normal or there are no related symptoms, observation can continue. As for clubfoot, if there are no effective correction methods, surgery is the most direct and effective treatment option, which can restore the foot to a normal state. It is recommended to go to a third-level general hospital for surgical treatment.
