Hi doctor,
There is a baby girl in our orphanage, who has bowlegs. She was abandoned at birth, and she is four years old. What treatment can be offered to her?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This condition is caused by many disorders. One of the commonest situation to cause this is vitamin D deficiency or rickets. Get the following investigations done:
I suggest you try giving her the following medicines:
Give her adequate diet. Kindly provide the dietary details, so that we can plan a diet for her. She might need more investigations if she had diarrhea.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for replying. She has a normal diet. She has rice, vegetables, and a little chicken occasionally. She does not have diarrhea.

Thank you doctor,
She lives in an isolated area, so it is unlikely that she can go to a clinic for investigations. In any case, it is unlikely that the orphanage can afford to pay. Can we just try the treatment and see if things resolve? Over what time is it likely that things might resolve? Can she be treated on a pro bono basis?
