Question
A 2-year-old and 3-month-old child, 81 cm tall, has O-shaped legs and the fontanelle at the top of the head has not closed. Inquire about effective treatment for antidiphtheria rickets.
Answer
For the child’s antidiphtheria rickets, phosphorus supplementation measures have been taken, but the effect is not good. Inquire about better treatment methods. It is recommended to undergo anesthesia for calcium supplementation and pair it with foods rich in calcium, such as bone soup, shrimp shells, chicken liver, milk, etc., to promote calcium absorption. Parents should give the child enough care and attention and take the child to the doctor for timely treatment, avoiding self-medication.
