Question
Can children with rickets be cured?
Answer
If the baby is six years old and has a severe O-shaped leg, it is necessary to undergo treatment. First, test for trace elements to see if there is a deficiency of calcium. If there is a calcium deficiency, it needs to be addressed promptly, and then an X-ray examination should be conducted. Based on the detailed examination results, determine whether there is a need for corrective shoes or orthopedic devices. If treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, it will be more difficult to resolve later. Therefore, the sooner the treatment begins, the better, to avoid delaying the baby’s condition.
