Patient's question:
My baby noticed that there is rib flaring. After checking, it was said to be rickets. Is rib flaring in babies a symptom of rickets?Doctor's answer:
From the medical history chart you provided, it can be seen that the child indeed has rib flaring. It is recommended to check the child's trace elements and bone density. While digesting calcium, it's also important to digest vitamins A and D, and encourage the child to get more sun exposure, which helps in the metabolism of calcium. The child is affected by rickets, so the parents must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For the parents, it's crucial to carefully observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
