Question
The child, who is 2 and a half years old, has been diagnosed with kyphosis after a detailed examination at the hospital. Although the child has been taking vitamin D continuously for a year, the symptoms have not improved significantly. What are the better treatment methods?
Answer
The treatment of kyphosis depends on the severity of the condition. It can start with dietary adjustments to increase calcium and phosphorus intake, often taking the child out in the sun, and following the doctor’s instructions to take vitamin D supplements or receive intramuscular injections. At the same time, regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to monitor blood calcium and phosphorus levels. If the treatment effect is not significant, it should be timely to return to the hospital for further examination and treatment. Parents should closely monitor their child’s diet and health status, discover the symptoms of kyphosis early, and take their child to a regular hospital for consultation.
