Does a calcium deficiency always lead to rickets?

Patient's question:

The baby doesn't eat much, and also refuses to take the calcium supplements given to her. Now she is two years old, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that she is severely calcium deficient. I am very upset about what to do with her rickets. Hello. Does calcium deficiency always lead to rickets?

Doctor's answer:

Calcium deficiency can potentially lead to a recurrence of rickets, joint deformities, or night sweats. It may also result in increased hair growth on the back of the head. First, it is important to get more sun exposure, consume more soy products, dairy products, and meat. You can also complement your diet with vitamin D soft capsules to enhance calcium absorption and utilization in the intestines.
