The baby has rickets, O-shaped legs, and pigeon chest. Now 1 year and 4 months old, the baby is taking medication. Is the medication effective?

Answer

The child’s condition is primarily due to vitamin D deficiency after birth. It is recommended to give the child an oral trace element test, take two vitamin capsules, and expose the baby to sunlight more often to help with the conversion of vitamin D. Rickets can cause significant harm to the child. If the mother notices any symptoms in the child, she should take the child to a regular hospital for a diagnosis immediately. Paying attention to the child’s diet is also important; it is suggested to have more light and savory meals and less spicy or irritating food. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
