Question
More than a month ago, the child came from their hometown to Dongguan and experienced symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, and tonsillitis. After treatment, they recovered. However, recently, it was found that the child is unstable when standing and walking, resembling someone who is drunk. The question is what might cause this condition and how to check and treat it.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be unstable on their feet due to a lack of calcium or vitamin D, but other conditions such as osteochondroma, osteoma, and bursitis should also be ruled out. In addition to supplementing calcium and vitamin D, it is recommended to give the child oral Chinese medicine like prepared rehmannia, yam, and cornel to promote neural development. At the same time, attention should be paid to a balanced diet.
