Patient's question:
Age of onset and disease description: Rickets causing right rib protrusion at age 8.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Folk remedies, taking calcium supplements.
Help desired: Treatment for rickets.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, rickets is commonly known as calcium deficiency and is more common in infancy. It is caused by vitamin D deficiency, which leads to metabolic disorders of calcium and phosphorus in the body, resulting in poor bone calcification. The type of rickets you mentioned is also a relatively common disease in children, and the main cause of this disease is calcium deficiency. Based on your test results, it is considered that the child's condition is still caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended that you first give the child a period of treatment with Sanjing Brand Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution, as the therapeutic effect is relatively good. At the same time, you can also use fish oil drops for the child, which is also beneficial for calcium absorption.
