Patient's question:
Son has bowlegs, big belly, doesn't like dinner, doesn't sleep well at night. Confirm if it's rickets.Doctor's answer:
Your description is quite general; this situation only considers the possibility of having rickets. Osteomalacia is generally caused by rickets, but other causes need to be ruled out. Poor appetite and restless deep sleep may also be related. It's best to see a doctor about this. If necessary, bone density tests and trace element tests should be conducted. At this age, the child needs to actively supplement calcium and vitamin D preparations, avoid prolonged standing, and appropriate correction can still lead to full recovery. Wishing your baby healthy growth! The child is troubled by rickets, so the mother must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is required.
