Get it checked by a physiotherapist to confirm. If its confirmed we can start with stretching and strengthening exercises. There are braces to prevent further changes.

Stand with your feet together and measure the distance between the insides of both knee with an inch tape. If the distance is more than 10 cms you have bow legs. If it is less than 10 cms you don't have bow legs.
Next Steps
You don't have to panic if you have bow legs from your childhood
