Patient's question:
As soon as the child was born, my husband and I took him to the hospital for a thorough physical examination. The doctor carefully discovered that the child had rickets, but the condition was not too severe. I would like to ask how to treat rickets? If a child has rickets, can it be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Rickets in children is caused by calcium deficiency, resulting from insufficient calcium intake. During treatment, it is recommended to use liquid calcium or granular calcium specifically designed for children, as these are quite effective. It is essential to use them under the guidance of a specialist doctor and to undergo regular follow-up tests. In daily life, it is important to consume more calcium-rich foods and to get more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption. With timely and appropriate treatment, good care, and a balanced diet that avoids picky eating, rickets can be completely cured.
