Suggest Treatment For Limping And Difficulty In Walking
My 17 month old started to favor his left leg and has had trouble standing or walking on it. It seems like it just gives out on him and he starts crawling. It don t seem to be sore but he does drag it at times when this is happening. Its not asleep either. What is it and do I need to carry him to get it checked out?

Hello. I just read through your question. There are several causes for a limp in a 17 month old child and most of them are not at all serious. However, all limps in children should be checked out. I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made.
