What might cause a limping 18 month baby boy with no history of trauma?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several points: Few parents visually monitor their kid 24/7 so there are some gaps where a toddler jumps down off a couch onto their outstretched heal rather than a flat foot.This action can bump the hip joint & cause a swelling in the joint that causes limping hours later.They might also injure their leg or foot the same way.Germs in the hip or knee are a scary cause of a limp. A dr eval is worth the trip.

Number of conditions: Limping is not normal and requires thorough evaluation of toe, ankle, knee, hip, and even spine. Have him checked!
