Question
How long does it take for a baby to recover from rickets?
Answer
If a baby develops rickets, it is due to low calcium levels. If this condition arises, it must be treated promptly as it may lead to malformed bone development. Treating rickets is a lengthy process, usually involving the use of calcium supplements. Now that the baby is over six months old, while continuing breastfeeding, it is important to introduce complementary foods in a timely manner to ensure a balanced diet. If symptoms are severe, hospitalization should be sought immediately.
