Patient's question:
The baby is four months old. Today, after a thorough examination, the doctor said there is rickets. Should I take vitamin D or cod liver oil?Doctor's answer:
Vitamin D plays a role in enhancing calcium absorption, and most children's calcium deficiency is not caused by insufficient calcium supply but by a lack of vitamin D. Cod liver oil is also known as a vitamin preparation. It is recommended to actively digest vitamin D for children, which is also known as cod liver oil. Please never use the two together, otherwise it may lead to an excess of vitamin D. Rickets pose a significant threat to children's health. If parents notice any symptoms in their children, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their children's care, follow a proper diet, and avoid cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment to aid in recovery!
