Patient's question:
The baby's language development isn't very good, but their diet is fine.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What kind of help is needed: A month ago, the baby was thoroughly examined in the hospital for rickets. The hospital prescribed Kacidel D2 Phosphocalcium Tablets, but they didn't seem to be effective. I would like to switch to Longmu Zhuanggu Granules and fish glycerin. Which of these two medications is more effective for treating the condition? Are there any other medications that can be used to treat the baby's illness? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Rickets are caused by a deficiency of vitamin D. Rickets are also classified into different stages, and different treatment plans should be adopted based on the severity. For normal and mild rickets, just taking Ekena is sufficient. For moderate to severe rickets, high-dose vitamin D3 treatment may be considered. Currently, the prevention work and treatment of moderate to severe rickets must use ENKOR (cholecalciferol emulsion) as the vitamin D3. ENKOR is a vitamin D3 emulsion containing 300,000 IU of vitamin D3, with the same content as traditional vitamin D3 injections.
