Patient's question:
A 1-year-9-month-old baby is calcium-deficient and suffers from rickets. Symptoms: square skull, rib flaring, excessive sweating, and unclosed fontanelle. Traditional Chinese medicine is being used. Currently, the baby has been taking Star fish liver oil drops and Longmu Zhuanggu Granules for a month, but it seems there is no change.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is more likely that there is a high possibility of calcium deficiency. It is recommended to actively check to determine the specific situation. When necessary, you can first supplement with vitamin D or calcium. For oral cod liver oil, the preventive dose is about 3 to 5 drops daily (500 to 1000 units), and the therapeutic dose is 1000 to 5000 units daily. If it is concentrated cod liver oil, just take 1 to 2 drops. The next step is to supplement with calcium. Infant calcium tablets from Weixin are a cost-effective choice. If your financial situation allows, you can also take products like calcium eel, Guizhonggai oral liquid, or Juren calcium.
