Question
A five-month-old baby, when she is held for a diaper change, her leg often makes a click sound when she pushes her leg forward. I don’t know what’s going on. Is it okay to take an X-ray for such a young baby?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s symptoms may be due to joint degeneration. It is recommended to take an X-ray for examination and to undergo treatment that protects the joint cartilage, with appropriate calcium supplementation, avoiding fatigue and cold exposure. It is advisable to engage in moderate activity and combine with acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy for a more effective treatment.
