Question
The other day, when I was shopping with my child, a friend suddenly said that my child walked with a bit of an O-shaped leg, looking particularly abnormal. I took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. The doctor said it was rickets. I would like to ask the doctor, can children’s rickets be cured?
Answer
Rickets in normal children is caused by calcium deficiency before the age of two. After the age of two, a child’s size is basically set, making it difficult to treat. Before the age of two, if a child is found to be deficient in calcium, it can be improved by supplementing calcium and injecting vitamin D3 to promote calcium absorption. This can improve the symptoms of the disease. The child is 6 years old, and this condition cannot be corrected very well. Wishing your baby good health.
