Patient's question:
The child had a slight case of rickets when examined carefully last year, with slightly raised chest. What does rickets mean?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that this condition may be related to nutritional vitamin D deficiency rickets. It is recommended to continue breastfeeding, supplement with vitamin D and vitamin AD, take them orally every other day, get more sun exposure, which helps in the absorption of calcium, and take calcium supplements when necessary. Rickets can cause significant harm to children. Once a mother notices symptoms in her child, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet and follow a balanced diet, avoiding spicy and harmful foods. It is hoped that the child can receive appropriate treatment and recover quickly!
