What is generally done for baby rickets?

Patient's question:

I am a 30-year-old woman and don't know why I suddenly got sick. I also feel uncomfortable. Please ask: What is generally done for rickets in babies?

Doctor's answer:

Four-month-old babies diagnosed with rickets are mostly suffering from this condition. Early detection increases the likelihood of many postnatal deformities. In the early stages, babies may show no special symptoms, but most will experience bald spots on the back of the head, excessive sweating, and poor mental state. In later stages, symptoms may include delayed fontanel closure and poor tooth development. It is recommended to supplement with vitamins under the guidance of a doctor, increase exposure to sunlight, and provide an appropriate amount of cod liver oil daily.
