Patient's question:
My child is now four years old, and their height is very different from their peers. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it was rickets, and they prescribed many medications, but they haven't had much effect. Could you please tell me how to treat pediatric rickets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, rickets, also known as vitamin D deficiency rickets, is a systemic, chronic, nutritional disease characterized by bone inflammation, caused by the inability of vitamin D in infants, children, and adolescents to promote calcium and phosphorus metabolism. It is recommended that you seek medical advice and take calcium and vitamin D supplements for targeted treatment. It is also advisable to let the child get more sun exposure regularly.
