Question
Recently, I’ve noticed that my child frequently sweats during the first half of the night while sleeping. After researching, I’m worried that they might have rickets. I would like to know how to effectively treat rickets if someone has had it since childhood.
Answer
Rickets, also known as calcium deficiency, is a bone development disorder caused by a lack of vitamin D. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice and treatment for rickets. In daily diet, increasing foods rich in calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, such as nuts, spinach, fish, and seaweed, can help prevent rickets. If rickets is confirmed, treatment under a doctor’s guidance is necessary, including medication and dietary adjustments to promote bone health. In addition, regular medical examinations and monitoring are important aspects of treating rickets.
