Patient's question:
The baby has rickets and takes calcium supplements every day, but the absorption is poor, and diarrhea always reappears. I have been giving him calcium for several days, but it hasn't had any effect at all. I feel extremely painful and want to consult an expert: how is rickets treated?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of rickets is the lack of vitamin D in the human body, which leads to abnormal bone growth and development, thereby causing the symptoms of rickets to recur. It is recommended to let children get more sun exposure regularly to enhance vitamin supplementation and calcium absorption. In terms of diet, consume more foods rich in vitamins to supplement vitamin D. You can go to a formal hospital and follow the treatment plan prescribed by the doctor for understanding and treatment.
