No: No, there is no medicine to help this. It is natural and normal and will self correct over time. It can take a couple of years to fully correct and almost always it needs no treatment. It is a cause of the baby being in a very tight spot inside mommy, and the legs are pulled up and rotated in. Have your doc follow this and being patient - it will almost always correct completely.
