Doctor's answer:
Treatment for Pediatric RicketsPediatric rickets is a systemic disease characterized by impaired bone growth and development, muscle relaxation, irritability, and excessive sweating. Its causes include congenital deficiency, improper diet, secondary infections, inadequate care, insufficient sunlight exposure, leading to spleen and kidney weakness, fragile or deformed bones. Common folk remedies and effective formulas for treating pediatric rickets are primarily as follows.
[Formula 1]
- Astragalus root 30g, Schisandra fruit 3g, pork liver 50g, pork leg bone (with marrow) 500g.
First, break the pork marrow and cook it with Schisandra fruit and Astragalus root in boiling water. Then, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain out the bone pieces and herbal residue. Add sliced liver to the soup and cook until tender. Season with salt and a little MSG. Eat the liver and drink the soup. One dose can be taken in one meal. It is recommended to take this formula regularly until recovery. This formula is suitable for pediatric rickets with primary symptoms of spleen and kidney weakness.
[Formula 2]
- Fresh chicken 500g, green chili, scallions, ham, and garlic each 50g, lard 250g, soy sauce 20g.
Remove the skin from the fresh chicken, clean it, and cut it into large pieces. Heat lard in a wok until the temperature reaches 50°C, then fry the chicken briefly and remove it. Reserve 25g of oil in the wok, discard the remaining oil. First, sauté garlic slices, then add green chili, ham, and scallions. Pour the chicken back into the wok, add soy sauce, one spoonful of chicken broth, and thicken the sauce with starch. Add MSG and a little sesame oil. This formula can prevent and treat pediatric rickets.
