Patient's question:
The child had a slight case of rickets when examined carefully last year, with slightly raised chest. I would like to ask if this is rickets.Doctor's answer:
Rickets are caused by insufficient calcium intake or excessive depletion, leading to skeletal deformities. Currently, it may just be a slight calcium deficiency, not yet rickets. Pay attention to getting more sunlight and drinking more milk to prevent nausea and vomiting. This can help enhance calcium absorption. Rickets have a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that family members take the child for a follow-up visit to a specialist and treat it under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can provide the child with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their dietary issues, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
