How is rickets treated?

Patient's question:

Half a month doctor, my baby is nine and a half months old. Today, I went for a health check-up and found mild bone strength deficiency, mild funnel chest, and obvious flaring of both costal arches. Hello, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Rickets is primarily a calcium deficiency symptom caused by vitamin D deficiency. First, it is recommended to give the baby more calcium-rich foods and get more sun exposure to enhance calcium absorption. It is also suggested to give the baby oral calcium supplements that are well-absorbed, such as calcium gluconate, and to take calcium absorption enhancers like Ad drops concurrently to improve calcium absorption. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain adequate sleep, as sufficient sleep will help you recover more quickly from the illness.
