Question
Dear doctor, hello. Regarding the treatment of rickets, what treatment measures should be taken for a 3-year-old child? Are there any effective solutions?
Answer
The treatment for rickets should focus on increasing outdoor activities and allowing children to be exposed to sunlight and fresh air, as sunlight is crucial for preventing and treating rickets. It is important to avoid excessive skin exposure and gradually increase the time spent in the sun. It is recommended to breastfeed and timely supplement food to ensure that children receive all the necessary nutrients for growth and development. Maintain good indoor ventilation and keep children’s toys and utensils clean and hygienic, especially during the hot summer months. Avoid covering children with thick cotton blankets to prevent excessive sweating. If the child sweats, wipe it clean with a soft cloth immediately.
