Question
My child is two and a half weeks old, and I’ve recently noticed they have a slight limp when walking, as if their feet hurt. They’ve fallen before, but there was no pain or swelling. I’ve taken them to the hospital for checks a few times, but no issues were found. It’s been 11 days now, what could be the cause? Please advise an expert.
Answer
Hello, it’s generally due to calcium or vitamin D deficiency. I suggest you supplement your child with vitamin D or calcium, and also consider a hospital check-up. It’s best to check for trace elements promptly. The appearance of pediatric orthopedic diseases can severely affect patients’ work. Patients need to actively treat the condition while also paying close attention to daily care, protecting the affected area, eating a balanced diet, and reducing the risk of recurrence.
