Patient's question:
My baby is now 1.5 years old, but she has been carefully examined and found to have rickets. I want to ask, how should I treat rickets in a 1.5-year-old baby? Is there any quick way to relieve it? Will there be any aftereffects later? What should I pay attention to during the relief period?Doctor's answer:
Your baby, who is 1.5 years old, has developed rickets again. This is mainly likely caused by calcium deficiency. It typically presents with rib flaring, can lead to O-shaped or X-shaped legs, and may also result in short stature. Additionally, it may cause night crying and other issues. Usually, this can be addressed by supplementing with calcium. If joint deformities occur, physical therapy and massage can be used. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
