Thank you for posting your query.
We are sorry to hear about your problem. We have tagged relevant doctors for your problem. Please wait they will reply you soon.
Thank you.
Madam first thing is to get the child examined by some competent orthopaedic surgeon and he may take his x-rays and do the measurements and let you know if your impression is right. Simultaneously he should be able to suggest preventive methods for making further growth normal for the child and can even suggest some physiotherapy or exercises . You need not worry as this is a very common condition and most of the children get it corrected during normal growth phases after four years of age.
search and visit dr. umair abu bakar siddiqui and get consult.
Yes sometimes it is corrected spontaneously and sometimes it is not. All I need is his x ray of both knees and examination of your child and detailed history
Appropriate suggestions already posted. Get examined by orthopedic specialist. Mostly benign physiological problem corrects itself with time.
It would be a good idea to check his pelvic floor and the associated structure to rule out any misalignment.
Need to see the patient . May some labortory workup and x ray before any advise.

when children are growing, their legs go through this knocking stage.
by the time child is 6-7 year old, his legs should be normal.
If you are still worried, a check up will bed good idea.
W.s.Madam it's better to check ur baby to some Paediatric Orthopaedics Surgeon,as examining the Ptr is first step in treatment second v can wait till the age of 05 yrs, during growth lot of changes take place.Allah Hafiz.
Hi, knockknees or genu valgum is normal till age 4. If it persisit after wards then contact orthopaedic surgeon.thanks Dr Khawaja
Hi ,
Thanks for the query. There is nothing to worry about this problem until your child goes beyond 5 yrs. Consult the nearest orthopedic surgeon for his examination regarding the progression of the deformity. He might need some exercises and physiotherapy for the time being . A close follow up with an orthopedic surgeon is recommended!
