Patient's question:
It was my sister who had rickets since childhood. She now has to use a cane to walk. She is not in good health now. My child is 7 years old and has rickets. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In cases like this, it is usually due to a lack of vitamin D in early childhood or poor nutrition caused by insufficient sunlight exposure. It is essential to let the baby get more sun exposure, enhance nutrition, and take oral calcium gluconate solution. Drinking chicken soup, fish soup, and pork rib soup can also help. The baby will gradually recover completely.The child is suffering from rickets, so the family must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment. It is important to avoid using unregulated medications advertised through small ads. Proper medication should be used. For parents, it is crucial to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
