Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Some parents, due to insufficient understanding of rickets, often fear that their children will develop the condition and misuse cod liver oil without considering the specific situation. Others, lacking a proper understanding of cod liver oil, believe that since it contains vitamins A and D, vitamin supplements are nutritional and consuming more is harmless. As a result, they often add extra drops when giving cod liver oil to their children, arbitrarily increasing the dosage. Unaware that a reasonable dosage is beneficial for children's growth and development, their misuse of cod liver oil or arbitrary increases in dosage can actually be harmful.Cod liver oil contains vitamins A and D, which are used to prevent rickets. Rickets typically develops two months after birth and is most common between 6 and 12 months, after which it gradually decreases. This is because the first two years of life are the period of fastest growth in children, requiring a large amount of nutrients, making it easy for vitamin D demand to exceed supply. After two years, children engage in more outdoor activities and are exposed to sunlight, allowing the body to produce vitamin D under the action of ultraviolet rays. Therefore, cod liver oil is generally not needed for children over two years old.
