Question
A 2-year-old 3-month-old child has developed O-shaped legs, with a height of 81 centimeters and an unfused forehead. They have previously undergone phosphorus supplementation treatment, but the results were unsatisfactory. How can this rickets condition be improved?
Answer
This situation constitutes rickets and requires calcium supplementation to improve it. It is recommended to check the blood calcium level at the hospital and then undergo calcium supplementation treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily diet, it is advisable to consume foods rich in calcium such as bone broth, shrimp shells, and milk. Since rickets has a significant impact on children, it is suggested that parents take their child to a specialist doctor for treatment. During the treatment process, parents should pay close attention to their child’s nutrition and health status to ensure they receive adequate care. Thank you for your question.
