Question

Does a child needing to walk with a cane indicate kyphosis, and can it be cured?

Answer

Based on the description, the child may have kyphosis or symptoms such as rib hump and genu varum due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to pay attention to calcium supplementation and further medical examination for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Kyphosis has a significant impact on children, so if symptoms are found, immediate medical attention should be sought, along with enhanced care and maintaining a light diet to avoid spicy and irritating foods to aid in the child’s recovery.
