Patient's question:
My baby is only nine months old, and she still can't walk at all. She can't even stand steadily, as if her two feet have no strength, and they 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 childhood rickets?
Doctor's answer:
1) Scientific feeding of infants should advocate breastfeeding during the early stage, and provide timely and appropriate complementary foods after weaning. 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 children outdoors for activities to get vitamin D from sunlight. It is estimated that two hours of sun exposure can enhance the skin's ability to produce vitamin D.
3) Enhanced care Daily life and hygiene care should be well-maintained for children, and preventive vaccinations should be administered regularly. Actively prevent acute and chronic diseases such as respiratory infections, pneumonia, nausea, vomiting, and anemia.
