Patient's question:
The baby is one year old and has been diagnosed with rickets. We usually feed her eggs, adding only a tiny bit of oil and salt. But within a couple of days, she developed diarrhea again. It kept coming and going for about ten days. We thought it was okay, but after touching a little oil, it became worse again. Now, we can only feed her porridge and soft noodles. The weather has gotten colder these past two days, and we're even afraid to give her fruits. How can we ensure she gets proper nutrition through her diet in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Rickets, also known as calcium deficiency, is more common in infancy. It is a disease that causes disordered metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body due to a lack of vitamin D, leading to poor fibrosis of the bones. Suggestions: Rickets develops slowly and is not easily noticed. Rickets weakens children's resistance, making them more susceptible to diseases such as pneumonia and nausea and vomiting, and interferes with their growth and development. Therefore, active and comprehensive prevention and treatment are necessary.
