Question
What should I do if my child’s legs don’t support or stand when I pick them up?
Answer
It’s possible that the baby is experiencing calcium deficiency. It’s recommended to undergo a blood calcium test to assist in diagnosis. You can take calcium tablets, such as Gai Zhong Gai, which have been found to be effective. Also, increase intake of foods rich in calcium, like fish and bone soup. Pay attention to rest and nutritional supplementation. Furthermore, if you notice symptoms suggestive of bone tumors, seek medical attention immediately and ensure adequate rest and nutrition in daily life to reduce the chance of illness.
