Patient's question:
Can newborns get rickets? My baby is 7 months old. Today, the doctor checked and said it's rickets, and it's a bit serious. I'm very scared and worried. I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello. This is rickets caused by severe calcium deficiency in children. Children grow faster. Their demand for calcium is also greater. If calcium intake is low, it can lead to calcium deficiency. If calcium deficiency is severe, rickets may occur. It is recommended to give calcium supplements and medications that promote calcium absorption. Take good care of the child. More sun exposure and more sun exposure can promote calcium absorption. After a period of time, when blood calcium is replenished, rickets will improve.
