Question
What are the reasons for children’s bow legs? What should I do if the child refuses to drink calcium supplements?
Answer
Children’s bow legs may be caused by a deficiency in calcium. You can try giving your child cod liver oil drops to promote calcium absorption and increase outdoor sun exposure time. For children who refuse to take calcium supplements directly, you can mix the calcium tablets with milk in a bottle for feeding. At the same time, supplement calcium through foods like milk, fish, shrimp shells, kelp, etc., and consume foods rich in vitamin D to help with calcium absorption. Gradually, the child’s condition will improve.
