Patient's question:
She contracted rickets at a young age, and now she must use a cane to walk. Her health is not good now. How should rickets be treated?Doctor's answer:
For children with rickets, the deficiency is in vitamin D, which in turn leads to calcium deficiency. It is best to hospitalize them for a few days to receive intravenous drips of vitamin D and calcium. After discharge, oral methods can be used, and they should get more sun exposure. Rickets can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, with a focus on their dietary issues, hoping that they can recover as soon as possible!
