Question
My daughter has had a congenital rickets since she was a child, and she now has to walk with crutches. Her condition is not good, and I want to ask, if she doesn’t have rickets, can she take cod liver oil?
Answer
Children can intermittently supplement calcium to promote growth during their growth and development, but should not do so for long periods. They can take supplements for one or two months and then pause. At the same time, they should eat more foods high in calcium, generally without any side effects. Rickets can have a significant impact on a child, so parents should take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms, and pay attention to the child’s care issues. It is recommended to balance nutrition in daily life, hoping the child can receive professional treatment and recover soon.
