Question
A child with rickets frequently cries at night, making it hard to fall asleep and wakes up shortly after nursing. What treatment is recommended for the night crying caused by rickets?
Answer
It is suggested to use Vitamin D3 for treatment and to increase the child’s sun exposure and outdoor activities. Additionally, attention should be paid to the diet, with an emphasis on consuming foods rich in Vitamin D and calcium, such as vegetables, fruits, eggs, and milk. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to take the child to a specialized hospital for a follow-up consultation and further treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is also advisable to give the child a small amount of juice to aid digestion and supplement vitamins, preventing gastrointestinal issues. It is hoped that the child will recover soon.
