Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that the little one sweats a lot during the first half of the night when sleeping. After researching, I suspect they might have rickets. I would like to ask how to treat rickets effectively if they have had it since childhood.Doctor's answer:
Rickets, also known as calcium deficiency, is more common in infancy. It is a disease that causes disordered metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body due to a lack of vitamin D, leading to poor fibrosis of the bones. In daily diet, it is advisable to consume more foods such as peanuts, spinach, soybeans, fish, kelp, bone soup, walnuts, shrimp, and seaweed to supplement calcium. Treatment should be sought in a regular specialized hospital to avoid delaying the condition. Rickets pose significant harm to children, so it is recommended that family members take the child to a specialized hospital for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is beneficial to give the child some juice, which helps digest vitamins and prevent stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
