Child lacks D now has some rickets, 5-year-old girl

Patient's question:

Started with calcium and cod liver oil??? Don't know if it's not absorbed or what??? A bit of rickets later??? Still taking cod liver oil and calcium now?? The cod liver oil contains 400 units.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, rickets are commonly known as calcium deficiency and are more common in infancy. It is a disease that causes abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body due to a lack of vitamin D, leading to poor bone calcification.
