Patient's question:
The other day, I took my child for a check-up. If it weren't for the check-up, everything would have been fine. But after the check-up, the doctor said my child had rickets, which scared me. How should I treat this? I usually give my child calcium supplements, but the doctor said I shouldn't supplement calcium randomly. Aren't all calcium pills the same? Now, the doctor has prescribed new calcium supplements. Will it come back again if it gets better?Doctor's answer:
This condition is related to calcium deficiency or poor calcium absorption, and such conditions require treatment with calcium supplementation. If actively treated, such conditions will not recur. Actively treat it. Choose calcium tablets for treatment, as these are well-absorbed. Additionally, taking vitamin D along with them enhances the effect. Pharmacies sell drops that can be used.
