Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, our 3-year-old baby has been diagnosed with rickets. How should it be treated? Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Children with rickets should participate more in outdoor activities, receiving sunlight and fresh air, as sunlight is a crucial element in preventing rickets. However, it is important to avoid excessive skin exposure and gradually increase the time spent in the sun. Breastfeeding is highly recommended, along with timely food supplementation to ensure that children receive adequate nutrition for their growth and development. Maintain good ventilation in the room and keep toys and utensils used by children clean, especially during hot summer months. Parents should avoid covering children with blankets to prevent excessive sweating. If a child sweats, it is essential to dry them promptly with a soft cloth.
