Question
How should a two-year-old boy with rickets be treated?
Answer
Based on your description, this is often associated with funnel chest, a deformity that may diminish with the child’s growth but may leave some skeletal deformities. The most important thing now is to supplement vitamin D and calcium. It is recommended to take calcium tablets and cod liver oil, and to enhance overall nutrition, which will help in the child’s health transformation. If there is a deformity, please go to the hospital’s department of surgery for a detailed examination. Rickets can have a significant impact on children, and it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, giving the child some juice daily can help digest vitamins and prevent diarrhea. We hope the child can recover soon!
