Patient's question:
My baby is only nine months old, and now she still cannot walk at all. She can't even stand steadily, as if her two feet have no strength and are slightly deformed. Last week, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said it was pigeon chest and O-shaped legs. Since the child is still young, early treatment can potentially prevent rickets.What kind of help is needed: Hello, how can I prevent and treat pediatric rickets?
Doctor's answer:
1) Scientific feeding of infants should advocate breastfeeding during the infancy period. After weaning, provide timely and appropriate complementary foods, and consume foods rich in vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and protein (such as eggs, liver, dairy products, fish, meat, etc.).2) Sun exposure Parents should frequently take young children outdoors for activities and sun exposure to obtain vitamin D. It is estimated that two hours of sun exposure can enhance the skin's ability to produce vitamin D.
3) Enhanced care Daily life should include proper care and hygiene for young children, and implement preventive vaccinations regularly. Actively prevent acute and chronic diseases such as respiratory infections, pneumonia, nausea, vomiting, and anemia through preventive measures.
