Patient's question:
My friend's daughter is just one year old, but she has been diagnosed with rickets due to her weak chest bone protruding forward. She has already gone for treatment, but found that her bones are still deformed. Hello, what are the main symptoms in the late stage of rickets? Can this disease be cured?Doctor's answer:
Rickets is one of the most common diseases in pediatrics. It is caused by severe calcium deficiency in children after birth. If the affected child does not promptly digest calcium and vitamin D after calcium deficiency, irreversible sequelae may remain, such as square skull, pigeon chest,, hand spade-shaped ring, X-shaped legs, or O-shaped legs. Early prevention of this disease can prevent the recurrence of the aforementioned sequelae. Once it progresses to an advanced stage, it is very difficult to change the deformities.
