Question

I have been suffering from rickets since childhood, which has led to the need for crutches to walk and poor physical condition. I would like to inquire about the treatment for the issue of bow legs caused by rickets.

Answer

Rickets may be caused by a lack of calcium, and it is recommended to get more sun exposure, and consider taking cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment. The absorption rate of calcium in food is generally low, even for easily digestible sources like milk, the absorption rate is not high. Rickets has a greater impact on children, so it is advisable for parents to bring their children to a specialized clinic for a follow-up examination and to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, more attention and care should be given to the child, and attention should be paid to their dietary issues, hoping that the child can recover soon.
