Patient's question:
Got bigger, I've been supplementing with calcium all along, but I still have a square skull now. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor just told me to keep supplementing with calcium for my baby. I'm very worried, can my baby's square skull be restored?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cranial deformities in infants under one year old can generally be corrected. It is recommended to continue calcium supplementation. Gluconate zinc calcium oral liquid is considered effective, combined with vitamin AD, and getting more sun exposure. It is advisable to have a hospital check blood calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels. If it is in the active phase of rickets, intramuscular vitamin D injection is necessary for effectiveness, while oral calcium supplements and cod liver oil may only prevent rickets but not treat it.
