Patient's question:
My baby noticed a rib deformity, and the check-up said it was rickets. Can a newborn with rickets be treated?Doctor's answer:
Rickets are relatively common in infancy. It is a disease that causes abnormal fibrosis of the bones due to vitamin D deficiency, leading to metabolic disorders of calcium and phosphorus in the body. The treatment is based on oral vitamin D, with a general dosage of 2000 IU to 4000 IU per day. Persistence in outdoor activities every day can cure it. Rickets can cause significant harm to children. Once a mother notices the symptoms of her child, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, she should pay close attention to her child's diet, recommend a balanced diet, and avoid cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
