Patient's question:
The son always sweats a lot. I'm wondering if he might have rickets. How should I determine if my child has rickets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: To determine if a child has rickets, a comprehensive judgment should be made based on the child's clinical manifestations and laboratory tests. Do not continuously supplement the child with medication just because one test result is abnormal. In laboratory tests, the current assessment of blood alkaline phosphatase levels is relatively reliable. A value typically greater than 250 is significant, and it may be appropriate to give the child fish oil supplements for a short period. I recommend that you go to a professional hospital for examination.
