Patient's question:
In the past two months, I've noticed that our child's health hasn't improved as much as others'. She always bends her back, and her legs also seem to be slightly outwardly curved. I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was rickets. But I'd like to ask if rickets are caused by calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Scoliosis is mainly caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take some vitamins. Specific medication should be followed strictly according to doctor's advice. You can eat more fresh beef, eggs, fish, shrimp, kelp, black fungus, tofu, and other foods. It is also necessary to engage in more outdoor activities and get more sun exposure. It is best to choose around 10 a.m. or 4 p.m. to sunbathe. You can also drink more bone soup and add a few drops of vinegar to the cooked soup to enhance calcium absorption.
