Patient's question:
My child, who suffers from rickets, has developed noticeable pigeon chest again. Their diet is also poor. What kind of medicine is best for children with rickets?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended to take vitamin D supplements orally. During the remission period, take 2000 to 4000 IU daily. Once the symptoms begin to subside after one month of treatment, switch to a preventive dose of 400 IU daily. It is also recommended that the child get more sun exposure and consume foods rich in vitamin D, such as animal liver, vegetable oils, eggs, mushrooms, etc. Rickets pose significant harm to children. If family members notice any symptoms in the child, they should promptly take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's dietary issues and recommend a balanced diet with limited spicy or irritating foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
