Patient's question:
What diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? What should I do if I am diagnosed with rickets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a baby's fontanelle usually closes within 18 months. Delayed closure is often seen in vitamin D deficiency rickets. In the early stages, blood calcium levels may be normal. It is recommended to let the baby eat more foods rich in vitamin D, such as breast milk, animal liver, eggs, mushrooms, etc. Also, ensure the baby gets plenty of sunlight. It is advisable to take calcium supplements and vitamin AD drops simultaneously. You can start by supplementing for one month and then go to the hospital for a follow-up check.
