Question
A few days ago, when I was taking my child out for a stroll, a friend suddenly said that my child has a bit of an O-shaped leg when walking, looking particularly abnormal. I took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. The doctor said it was rickets after examination. I would like to ask the doctor, can children’s rickets be cured?
Answer
Rickets in normal children is usually caused by calcium deficiency before the age of two. After two years old, children’s body 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 alleviate the symptoms of the disease. At the age of 6, this condition cannot be corrected well. Wishing your little one good health.
