Patient's question:
My son was always given calcium supplements before, because I was afraid it would affect his physical growth and development. Children the same age as him are now three years old, but I feel there's something a bit different. Rickets, this is a relatively difficult condition to treat. What are the causes of rickets?Doctor's answer:
Scoliosis can cause joint deformities in the legs and feet, and may also lead to multiple cases of pigeon chest, joint pain, and stunted growth. If calcium supplements are continuously taken, it could be due to a lack of vitamin D, which prevents calcium from being absorbed effectively. It is best to take vitamin D soft capsules in conjunction, while also getting more sunlight, eating more fruits, vegetables, and meat. If the joint deformity is severe, surgery may be required.
