Patient's question:
Started with calcium and cod liver oil??? Not sure if it's not absorbed or what??? A bit of rickets later??? Still taking cod liver oil and calcium now?? The cod liver oil contains 400 units.Doctor's answer:
Hello, rickets are commonly referred to as calcium deficiency and are more common in infancy. It is a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency, leading to disorders in calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body, resulting in poor bone calcification. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so they are prone to developing rickets. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
