Son is one year old, how to treat early rickets?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should early rickets be treated when my son is one year old?

Doctor's answer:

Your child has a square skull. Generally, oral vitamin D should be taken for three months, and alkaline phosphatase can be rechecked. For children under two years old, it is recommended to take preventive vitamin D 400 units/day. Weight and height can catch up according to the child's nutritional condition. These are the two treatment methods: 1. The dose of oral vitamin D is 2000 units/day, taken for one month, then changed to preventive 400 units. 2. 200,000-300,000 units at a time, this is the intramuscular dose, alternated for three months, then changed to preventive 400 units/day. The square skull can gradually improve with the condition.
