It depends on the degree of deformity you have, that can be determined by clinical evaluation, if the deformity is gross then medicines will not help. If it is due to some other reason, medicines might help only to some extent.
Next Steps
Kindly contact me through practo so that we can discuss the problem in detail

Knock knee or genu valgum deformity is usually associated with bone weakness at growing age. The treatment depends on the severity of the deformity.
Next Steps
If it is minimal, you can apply a brace for support.. if it is significant, you can get one Scanogram I.e. full lower limb x ray. In severe cases, surgery may be required..
