Patient's question:
Sometimes, the baby plays by themselves and suddenly starts crying uncontrollably. There's no contact or bump, but the right foot won't touch the ground, and it's clearly in pain. There's no redness or swelling, and it usually resolves on its own after a while. The baby has rickets, but are there other babies with the same condition? How is pediatric rickets treated?Doctor's answer:
Childhood rickets is primarily caused by a lack of vitamin D, leading to an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio. Treatment mainly involves taking vitamin D, and it is also recommended to get more sun exposure to enhance the skin's production of vitamin D, promote calcium absorption, and pay attention to regular follow-up tests. Additionally, it is important to maintain a balanced diet to avoid malnutrition. It is also necessary to keep emotions stable and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
