Patient's question:
My friend's daughter was diagnosed with rickets in the hospital. I'd like to ask a few questions: What is rickets? What are the symptoms of rickets? Can children with rickets be cured?Doctor's answer:
The incubation period of rickets is usually very long, and due to its slow onset, it is difficult to detect early. Children with rickets have poor self-immunity and are prone to pneumonia, nausea, vomiting, and other diseases, which interfere with their growth and development. Therefore, parents should actively prevent rickets. The vast majority of children with VD (exogenous) rely on the food they consume for growth and development. Under normal circumstances, the amount of VD in food is not sufficient to meet the needs of children's growth and development. If the mother's diet is improper, the possibility of vitamin D deficiency is even greater.
