Question
I noticed my baby has ribcage outward curvature, and when I went for a check-up, it was said to be rickets. What should I do if the doctor mentioned rickets two months ago?
Answer
In this case, it’s still worth considering malnutrition, as children are most commonly lacking in trace elements like calcium, iron, and zinc. Your baby still needs to enhance nutrition. If your baby is suffering from iron deficiency anemia, it’s important to focus on oral supplementation while also boosting the baby’s immunity. The key is to enhance nutrition and maintain a balanced diet. You can gradually adjust the diet without needing to take any additional tonifying oral liquids. Rickets can cause significant harm to children. Once parents notice their child’s symptoms, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. It’s also important to pay close attention to the child’s diet, with suggestions for a light and non-spicy diet. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover!
