Question
Is intramuscular injection effective for rickets?
Answer
If a child has rickets, it may be necessary to timely take vitamin D supplements or receive intramuscular injections of vitamin D3, depending on the condition. In most cases, intramuscular injections are not required. Oral administration of alpha-tocopherol can be used for relief. It is also important to get plenty of sunlight, and if there is a calcium deficiency, vitamin D injection can be used. It is best to take oral calcium gluconate and children’s cod liver oil drops for relief.
