Patient's question:
My child, who suffers from rickets, has developed noticeable pigeon chest again. Their diet is also poor. What should I do if rickets were discovered three months ago?Doctor's answer:
Rickets is usually caused by calcium deficiency. If a 3-month-old baby has rickets, it is necessary to appropriately supplement the baby with calcium, while also supplementing with vitamin D, which is the key to treating rickets. Take the baby out to sunbathe. The treatment principle should be based on the need to supplement calcium and vitamin D. The general dosage of oral vitamin D is 2000 IU per day, and after half a month, the preventive dosage should be adjusted to 400 IU per day. Strict recovery proof is required for high-dose treatment. Rickets has a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and treat under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is possible to 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!
