Question
My baby walks with his feet turned inward, and his left leg is slightly thinner than his right. Can the problem be solved by just supplementing with calcium, or should we wear shoes upside down? Do we need to take any other treatment? Is this a disease? Can you elaborate on the impact of this condition on the child’s development? How common is this condition?
Answer
Considering the possibility of calcium deficiency as the cause, you can give your baby children’s cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment. You can also take AD calcium supplements containing vitamin D. If necessary, vitamin D3 injection therapy can be administered. If the baby has symptoms of indigestion or vomiting, active treatment is required to avoid affecting calcium absorption. Additionally, getting plenty of sunlight also helps in calcium absorption. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you and your baby good health!
