Patient's question:
Today I took my son to the hospital for a health check-up. The doctor said he has some calcium deficiency and rickets. What causes rickets?Doctor's answer:
Generally, rickets are caused by calcium deficiency, leading to abnormal bone development and resulting discomfort. You don't need to worry too much, and it is recommended to actively pursue treatment. In this case, it is advisable to actively provide calcium supplementation for the baby, such as taking cod liver oil and getting more sun exposure, which can enhance calcium absorption. At six months, appropriate complementary foods can be introduced. If you are still not at ease, it is better to go to the hospital and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The child is threatened by rickets, so the mother must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment.
