Question
I am a 58-year-old female. Lately, I haven’t been feeling well mentally, and my mood isn’t good either. I feel like I might be sick. What is rickets?
Answer
Rickets is often caused by insufficient sunlight exposure, inadequate vitamin intake, improper calcium-phosphorus ratio, and increasing calcium requirements leading to low calcium levels in the body, commonly occurring in infants and young children under two years of age. It is advisable to consult a hospital for a re-examination. In daily life, you can treat rickets according to its causes, such as getting more sunlight and increasing vitamin intake. Avoid any psychological stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and during this period, make sure to get plenty of rest. Also, keep a healthy diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and your fetus.
