Question
My child is now 2 years old. The other day, the child felt unwell and went to the hospital for a detailed check-up, and it turned out to be rickets. I have never heard of this disease before, and I am very worried. I don’t know what to do. Hi, how should a 2-year-old baby with rickets be treated?
Answer
Rickets is a common disease that requires early detection and treatment. For your child’s condition, it is advisable to follow the doctor’s recommendations and promptly use vitamin D and calcium supplements for treatment. Vitamin D2 helps enhance calcium absorption. Additionally, parents should take their children out to bask in the sunlight under appropriate light conditions, ensure the child receives adequate vitamin D and calcium gluconate, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid using medication randomly.
