Patient's question:
My baby noticed a rib deformity and went for a check-up, where it was diagnosed as rickets. If my baby is diagnosed with rickets at one month and one month old, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The essence of rickets is caused by a lack of calcium. In severe cases, it can manifest as skeletal deformities, such as a square skull or pigeon chest. In addition to digesting vitamin D, timely digestion of calcium carbonate preparations is also required. Currently, there is no specific treatment for skeletal deformities that have already formed. Children affected by rickets should be taken to the doctor for timely treatment by their parents to prevent the use of small advertisements drugs. Proper medication is essential, and parents should closely observe changes in their child's symptoms and do their best to help them receive timely medical treatment.
