Patient's question:
I have a classmate whose child has rickets. It is said that it is due to developmental problems, apparently caused by a lack of trace elements in the body. So now I really want to ask you what element causes rickets?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, I make the following assumptions. This rickets generally refers to nutritional vitamin D deficiency rickets in children, which falls within the scope of pediatric treatment. It is a nutritional vitamin deficiency disease. You can use light therapy and physiologically appropriate doses of vitamin D to treat rickets. If severe rickets in infants and young children are not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to varying degrees of skeletal deformities.
