Question
Is it normal for an 18-month-old child not to walk yet? The child can already crawl and stand on one foot, but is unable to walk independently. It seems that their legs are weak, and they appear to struggle when standing. Could this be a sign of weak waist (waist) strength? Is there any problem?
Answer
The child’s walking development may be affected by calcium deficiency. If necessary, a trace element test can be conducted for diagnosis. After confirming the diagnosis, a treatment plan can be formulated. You can give the child children’s cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution, or use Dikang Calcium for treatment. If needed, vitamin D3 injections can also be used for treatment. If there are symptoms such as indigestion or nausea and vomiting, active treatment is required to avoid interfering with the absorption of calcium. Additionally, getting plenty of sunlight also helps with the absorption of calcium.
