Question
The child is around 5 years old and has been complaining of leg pain recently. What should be done if the child hasn’t learned to walk yet?
Answer
If a child hasn’t started walking by the age of one, they should be able to do so by the age of 18 months. In fact, mastering perfect walking skills is one of the main achievements during the second year. If the child has already begun learning to walk, the appearance of pediatric orthopedic diseases can severely affect a patient’s work. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
