How to deal with rickets in a 17-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should I deal with rickets in a 17-month-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

A 17-month-old baby has been diagnosed with rickets, so it is necessary to provide vitamin A and D supplements and calcium supplements for treatment. The medication period will be relatively long, and it is necessary to go to the hospital regularly for check-ups. Rickets can lead to abnormal bone growth and development in babies, but it does not mean that all babies with rickets will develop a hunchback. Some may show symptoms of a hunchback, while others may have pigeon chest, and some may develop X-shaped or O-shaped legs.
