Question
My baby has been diagnosed with calcium deficiency, and she is almost two years old now. The doctor has prescribed D3 granules. Besides taking the D3 granules, what else can be done to improve the treatment? The doctor who examined her legs said there was no problem, but I am still worried. Can the ribcage deformity and the treatment for the skull be stabilized?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, your baby’s condition is due to calcium deficiency caused by vitamin D deficiency, which has affected bone growth and development. With age growth, most symptoms will gradually improve or disappear. If the symptoms are mild, they can usually recover on their own. However, rickets can have a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized hospital for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
