Question
How should a 1.5-year-old baby be treated for bowing disease? Are there any quick relief methods? Will there be any complications after relief? What precautions should be taken during the relief period?
Answer
If a baby is diagnosed with bowing disease at 1.5 years old, it is likely due to a calcium deficiency. Common symptoms include ribcage deformity, O-shaped or X-shaped legs, and may also include stunted growth and crying at night. Treatment can be improved through calcium supplementation, with rehabilitation exercises and massage for joint deformities. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. During the treatment period, parents should pay attention to the baby’s nutritional intake and follow the doctor’s professional advice to alleviate the condition and prevent complications.
