Patient's question:
The male baby is almost nine months old. He started taking D3 15 days after birth and has been taking it ever since. During the full-month health check-up, the doctor advised us to take two doses a day. At every monthly health check-up, the doctor has recommended two doses. At the 6-month health check-up, blood tests showed that the child had no deficiencies and the doctor advised us to take one dose daily. At seven months, the doctor ordered a bone density test and recommended discontinuing D3. When the child was five months old, he had severe sweating and difficulty sleeping during naps, so we started supplementing with calcium. After the 7-month health check-up, we did not supplement with calcium, but continued taking D3 one dose a day. The past two days, I’ve noticed that the child’s ribs seem a bit prominent—is it possible that the ribs are protruding? Could it be rickets? Should we focus on calcium supplementation for the child, or should we take other measures?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, usually, after the baby is born, they can take Ecosin, which is helpful for calcium absorption. Currently, based on the pictures you sent, there are no obvious abnormalities, so it is appropriate to take Ecosin, once a day, one pill each time. The above advice is for the question "Male baby is almost nine months old, started taking D3 15 days after birth and has been taking it continuously." I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
