Question
My daughter has a bent finger bone, especially in her little finger, is this caused by a lack of calcium? She has had this bent little finger since she was a child.
Answer
Hello, based on the situation you described, the possible causes for the bent little finger bone could include: 1. Malformation due to developmental issues; 2. Factors related to tendinitis; 3. The possibility of a calcium deficiency is relatively low, but it cannot be ruled out completely. It is recommended that you take your child to a local hospital’s pediatric department for a consultation to determine the cause, and avoid self-medication. Severe bone deformities in children can significantly affect their quality of life. In addition to timely treatment, daily care is also very important, including eating more vegetables and fruits, supplementing calcium, and reducing the chance of recurrence.
