Linda notices that her 15 month old son has pigeon toes and walks with his toes pointing inside. She took him to the doctor, and the doctors told her that there is nothing to worry, no need for any treatment, and his son will be better once he gets older. Linda is still worried, can she trust the doctor? Why or why not?
Yes in this case Linda can trust on the doctors beacuse the "Pigeon toe" is a very common situation in which the child’s toes are pointed inward, generally upto 8 years of the age. There is no need to worry as it is painless condition and having no associated future complexions. The condition is corrected itself and there is no any need of treatment.
Hence she should allow to grow her child normally and over the time the problem will be completely resolved.
