Patient's question:
My son has a chest development deformity, a bit like pigeon chest. The doctor said it's due to rickets caused by a lack of vitamin D, but the condition isn't very serious right now. Treatment is still in time, and it won't cause severe physical deformities. I want to know how effective the Longmu Zhuanggu Granules prescribed by the doctor are for treating rickets.Doctor's answer:
This can supplement the calcium deficiency in the body, but in such cases, it is recommended to regularly have trace element tests done at the pediatric department of a hospital. If the calcium deficiency is severe, this alone is not enough, and Western medicine treatment should be combined. Calcium deficiency itself can lead to conditions such as rickets, hair loss, sleep instability, and frequent waking at night, among other issues. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to diet in daily life, ensuring a balanced mix of meat and vegetables for overall regulation.
