Baby having walking issue.

2021-04-04 07:56:49
Hi, My baby is 17 months old. She started walking at 14 months but from last 1 week I am feeling, she have some problem in her right foot. Some times she walk properly and some time she only use half upper foot to walk. Is this can be a polio or any serious issue. Please help me out Thanks in advance.

This happens sometimes with kids where they have abnormal gait. It may be due to growing pains. It's not likely to be polio as it's on and off. But meet a pediatrician for check up. Very less likely to be a serious issue
