Patient's question:
The child of my relative is now 3 years old, but they are very short. Their parents are of average height. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said that the child has rickets. Hello, can rickets and short stature be self-cured?Doctor's answer:
Scoliosis and dwarfism are quite similar. Scoliosis is caused by bone growth disorders or muscle relaxation. Due to a lack of vitamin D in the body, the absorption of calcium is affected, leading to abnormal bone development. Huangqi can be used to replenish qi, then Ginseng, Poria, and Chinese Yam can be used to strengthen the spleen. Then, Goji berries, Angelica sinensis, and White Peony Root can be used to nourish the body and yin blood. Jujubes can be used to nourish blood and calm the mind. Pearlshell and Oyster can also be consumed. It is best to use a ceramic pot to decoct the medicine, which can usually be found in the market. It is also best to use a coal-baked stove to decoct the medicine.
