Patient's question:
As soon as the child was born, my husband and I took him to the hospital for a thorough physical examination. The doctor carefully examined the child and discovered that he had rickets. However, the child's condition was not too severe. I would like to ask how to treat rickets? If a child has rickets, can it be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Rickets in children is caused by calcium deficiency, resulting from insufficient calcium intake. During treatment, it is recommended to use liquid calcium or granular calcium specifically designed for children, as these are more effective. It is essential to use these treatments under the guidance of a specialist doctor and to undergo regular follow-up tests. In daily life, it is important to consume more calcium-rich foods and to get plenty of sunlight to promote calcium absorption. With timely and appropriate treatment, good care, and a balanced diet free of picky eating habits, rickets can be completely cured.
