Question
When a child just learns to walk, parents may notice an unstable gait and feel as if the child is limping. What could be the possible causes and coping strategies?
Answer
This situation may be due to muscle relaxation. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, it is suggested to enhance the child’s physical activity to strengthen their constitution and avoid eating spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods. If medication does not yield satisfactory results, microsurgery may need to be considered.
