Question
How should a 2-year-old baby with a slight bow-legged gait be treated?
Answer
Feeding cod liver oil or Betacal can be done, along with adequate supplementation of calcium gluconate, and exposing the baby to more sunlight to promote calcium absorption. At the same time, adding egg yolk paste to the diet can increase calcium intake. Calcium supplementation is a process that takes time, and it is recommended for the baby’s healthy growth. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to seek medical attention for surgical treatment. After surgery, rehabilitation treatment is necessary, and rest should be ensured while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
