What Causes Limping On The Left Foot?
My 14 month year old has been at ties walking fine and then limping with the left foot at other times. He ll use his toes to walk on it. I didn t notice a fall or anything that caused it. It s been about a week and i m concerned. He ll walk and run on it fine for a while and then back walking on his toes on the one foot and then back to being fine again. Do you think it s a spran? I can t keep a cold or warm pack on his foot long enough to do any good.

Hi
It's unlikely due to any sprain as it's not giving any consistent disability. It can be just a behaviour which will improve within a few days. There is no need for any treatment at present.
Take care
