Early mild rickets can be fully recovered with timely treatment, leaving no skeletal deformities. It is recommended to have a blood test at the hospital for a thorough check. Currently, vitamin D 125~250μg (0.5~1U) should be given daily, and the treatment dose should be maintained for one month before switching to a preventive dose. The preventive dose should be maintained, with infants and young children receiving 10~20μg (400~800U) daily. It is also recommended to engage in more outdoor activities daily.
