Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is just six months old. Last week, I took him to the hospital for a physical examination and found that he has rickets. The main symptoms are a square skull, but he doesn't have O-shaped legs or other symptoms. The doctor advised me to supplement more vitamin A and calcium during his growth. Can infant rickets be cured?Doctor's answer:
If a baby generally has rickets, it can be treated well. Currently, she does not have bowlegs, and the condition is not very severe. This mainly involves calcium supplementation, and it is essential to also use some vitamin D. Additionally, dietary nutrition should be paid attention to—eat more various meats, soy products, and dairy products. More sun exposure is beneficial for gradual improvement. Wishing your baby good health.
