Question
How can you determine if you have rickets during pregnancy?
Answer
Rickets is typically caused by a deficiency in vitamin D, with a small portion being due to kidney diseases. This type of rickets usually does not skip generations. The diagnosis of calcium deficiency requires electrolyte or trace element testing to confirm. If a child is affected by rickets, parents should immediately take the child to a doctor for treatment, avoid using unknown small advertisement drugs, and take medication reasonably. Parents should give the child enough care and attention and try to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
