Patient's question:
A child is born with a hunchback. At first, it was thought to be poor development, but after a medical examination, it was discovered that the child has rickets. What kind of medicine should a newborn with rickets take? Will there be no way to correct the child's rickets? If it cannot be corrected, what major problems will arise?Doctor's answer:
Hello, babies with rickets can take vitamin D and also take calcium supplements. When the baby's body lacks these two trace elements, it is very easy to cause the occurrence of rickets. Therefore, if the baby has rickets, it is best to take vitamin D to treat it. Medication is a common method for treating rickets, and the symptoms of rickets can also be improved through dietary changes. You can eat more foods rich in vitamin D to improve rickets.
