Suggest Remedies For Legs Turning Inward During Walking
hello my son is 14 months old, he has been walking for about two months and i have noticed his legs turn in really bad from the top which causes his shins to turn in and his feet, i thought this would sort itself out as he got better on his feet but its getting severely worse, the doctor has referred him to see a consultant but it is not untill next month and each day is getting worse and he is tripping himself up alot.

Hi... By what you quote it could be Rickets. Rickets occur due to vitamin d or calcium deficiency. I suggest you to do CBC, calcium and phosphate levels, and x ray wrist ap view for diagnosis. You should also start syrup calcium 5 ml two times a day for 2 months. Further treatment will depend on above reports.
