Question
My 1-year-and-3-month-old baby still can’t walk, and during each attempt to learn, his left leg seems to turn inward. Is it caused by rickets due to calcium deficiency? We haven’t had much sunlight exposure this winter; could it be due to insufficient sunlight?
Answer
Hello, considering the child’s situation, there are two possibilities. One is the possibility of calcium deficiency, and the other is the possibility of a brain issue. Guidance: It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up, considering a visit to a major hospital. It may be a problem with the nervous system development, so consider an MRI or CT scan. Also, check for calcium deficiency. If there is a deficiency, actively supplement with vitamin D. If there is a nervous system issue, consider rehabilitation treatment.
