Question
An 18-month-old girl has her legs feel stiff and her bent legs cannot sleep before bedtime. After waking up, her legs return to normal. She plays normally during the day. I don’t know why she hasn’t seen a doctor yet. Please advise.
Answer
Hello, feeling your legs straighten out tightly before going to bed could be due to a lack of calcium or cold weather. You can pay attention to calcium supplementation in your diet, eating more calcium-rich foods like lean meat and eggs. Also, try to get more sun exposure. Remember to stay warm. We know that pediatric neurology diseases can have a significant impact on children. If not treated promptly or with incorrect treatment methods, they can progress rapidly and cause great harm to children. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their children’s condition and seek treatment in a timely manner.
