What should be done about mild rickets?

Patient's question:

The baby is 1.5 years old, with slightly bent legs, no pigeon chest, and is very strong. They rarely get exposed to sunlight. Are they lacking in calcium? Hello, do they still need to take fish oil even if they are taking calcium supplements? Can they take only one of them?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
Chicken breast is a symptom of vitamin D deficiency rickets, which manifests as bone softening. You should visit a hospital to diagnose and supplement vitamin D. For correction, you can lie flat with eyes raised and chest extended. If the person is still an infant, encourage them to crawl down; they will naturally perform this action. Practicing this many times a day can improve the condition. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
