Patient's question:
Recently, I took my child for a vaccination and ended up getting a few health check-ups done. The doctor mentioned that the two hollows on the sides of his knees are quite deep and suspected it could be rickets. I was quite alarmed at the time. Although my child is a bit shorter than other children, he is both a good eater and a good sleeper.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, the two hollows on your son's knees are very deep. What is the reason for this?
Doctor's answer:
It may be a deficiency in bone structure that is congenital, known as rickets. Be cautious not to take excessive vitamin D for a long period to avoid vitamin D poisoning. However, it can be taken as a preventive measure until the age of 2-3. After 2-3 years, rickets becomes inactive, and there is no need to continue using cod liver oil for prevention. It is recommended to take the child out to sunbathe more often. The above advice is for the question "deep grooves on both sides of the child's knees." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
