Patient's question:
My baby is now exactly nine and a half months old. Lately, I've been feeling that my baby's sleep at night isn't good, often waking up in the middle of the night, restless in deep sleep, sweating a lot, and being easily irritable. Physical development has also been slower than usual. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, it turned out to be rickets. How should I treat my baby's rickets?Doctor's answer:
A child who is more than nine months old has been carefully diagnosed with rickets and should be hospitalized for systematic treatment. If treated promptly, there is a possibility of self-recovery, mainly through methods such as taking calcium supplements and cod liver oil. Treatment can be administered orally or through intravenous infusion to expedite absorption. It is recommended to give the child more warm water to drink, and the diet should include a balance of meat and vegetables, with a focus on consuming foods rich in calcium. Rest more, and the above suggestions can serve as a reference.
