Question

Besides surgery, are there any other ways to treat pediatric X-legs? My two-and-a-half-year-old son had mild X-legs last December, and they’ve worsened this year. We went to the hospital and all tests came back normal. The doctor said it’s kyphosis caused by a calcium deficiency.

Answer

Hello, your child’s condition is indeed due to early calcium deficiency. The current treatment method is to promptly supplement calcium to prevent further skeletal deformities. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to pediatric general surgery issues. To parents, don’t panic; you should take your child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Also, make sure to have regular check-ups and take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication under the doctor’s guidance.
