Patient's question:
The other day, when I took my child shopping with friends, they suddenly said my child's gait looked a bit like a bow leg. It seemed quite abnormal. I took a closer look and found it was indeed the case. A doctor checked and said it was rickets. I'd like to ask the doctor if rickets in children can be cured?Doctor's answer:
The rickets in normal children are caused by calcium deficiency before the age of two. After the age of two, the child's size is basically fixed, making it difficult to treat. Before the age of two, if calcium deficiency is detected in the child, calcium supplementation and vitamin D3 injections can be used to promote calcium absorption. This can improve the symptoms of the disease. The child is six years old, and this condition cannot be corrected well. Wishing your baby good health.
