Patient's question:
My child is 2 years old this year. A few days ago, the child wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, where it was diagnosed with rickets. I haven't heard of this disease before, and I'm very worried now, not knowing what's going on. Hello, how should I treat rickets in a 2-year-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Rickets is a very common disease, and it is essential to detect and treat it early. For your child's condition, you should follow the doctor's advice and promptly use vitamin D and calcium supplements for treatment. Vitamin D2 enhances calcium metabolism. Additionally, parents should take their children out to sunbathe under appropriate lighting conditions. Ensure the child gets sufficient vitamin D and gluconate calcium, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Otherwise, do not use medications indiscriminately.
