How to treat a two-year-old patient with rickets

Patient's question:

The doctor said that calcium supplementation is sufficient until the age of two. I have been drinking sugar-free Sanjing Glucose Calcium, but now I still have pigeon chest, a large head, and the shape of my head is like a heart.
History of previous treatment and effectiveness: No significant allergies or hereditary medical history.
What kind of help is needed: How to treat it specifically, what medication would be best.

Doctor's answer:

Integrate your information. Your child's condition should be considered as a late stage of sequelae of rickets. Between the skeletal deformities caused by rickets, once formed, they may leave behind sequelae. Therefore, prevention is key in rickets, and it is essential to be proactive to prevent further skeletal deformities. Medication stabilization is ineffective.
Suggestions: The current specific medications mainly include vitamin D tablets, capsules, injections, and emulsions. Additionally, vitamin D3 is metabolized faster and has a more effective outcome compared to vitamin D2.
