Patient's question:
What diseases can be treated in pediatric surgery, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can a four-month-old baby be diagnosed with rickets?Doctor's answer:
A four-month-old baby will generally never develop symptoms of rickets. A baby who is more than four months old is particularly excitable, prone to crying at night, and has slow growth. This is mainly due to a lack of calcium in the baby's body. It is recommended to appropriately supplement the baby with vitamin D3 and calcium supplements, while also exposing the child to more sunlight to enhance calcium absorption. Supplementing the baby with vitamin D3 and calcium can effectively prevent rickets.
