Patient's question:
My child, who suffers from rickets, has developed noticeable pigeon chest again. Their diet is also poor. Could you please advise on how to treat rickets in a 2.5-year-old child after a hospital examination?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the issue and the symptoms, the baby is 2.5 years old. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed rickets. The baby has been undergoing vitamin D supplementation treatment for a year, but the results have not been very effective. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for further examination and laboratory tests to rule out other diseases. Rickets can be very harmful to children. Once family members notice the symptoms of the child, they should promptly take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's dietary issues. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover!
