Patient's question:
Today I heard from a friend that her son has rickets, and it has been carefully diagnosed that he has had it for some time. Then I became worried that my child might also get this disease. I want to know what methods can prevent my child from getting rickets. Additionally, what kind of medicine is good to take besides preventing rickets?Doctor's answer:
If children do not pay attention to proper nutrition during their growth and development period, a lack of calcium and other essential elements in their bodies can lead to rickets. Therefore, children's diet should not have bad habits like avoiding meat or being picky eaters. A balanced combination of meat and vegetables is essential for better nutrition. Encourage children to consume foods high in calcium and develop the habit of regular physical exercise. This way, children are unlikely to develop rickets and will be more beneficial for their normal growth and development. Generally, there is no need to take medication to prevent rickets. Do not worry too much.
