Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can rickets be treated?Doctor's answer:
If your daughter gets rickets, the first thing to do is to supplement calcium and vitamin D to prevent the condition from worsening. This disease may potentially recur, leading to rib flaring, O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, or even stunted growth. If not treated properly, it may leave behind sequelae such as joint deformities. Currently, rehabilitation exercises and manual therapy can be performed in coordination. If the joint deformation is severe, surgery may be required.
