Question

The child is 2 years and 3 months old, 81 cm tall, suffering from O-shaped legs and an unclosed fontanelle. Phosphorus supplementation has been attempted but has not been effective.

Answer

Diagnosed with rickets, it is suggested to first conduct a blood calcium test to assess the need for calcium supplementation. In daily diet, foods rich in calcium such as bone broth, shrimp shells, and milk can be added, and it is recommended to visit a specialist clinic for a follow-up examination to receive treatment under the guidance of a physician. Parents should provide the child with adequate care and attention, and pay attention to their dietary status, hoping the child can recover soon.
