Question
What kind of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? What are the main causes of rickets?
Answer
Firstly, vitamin D deficiency rickets is primarily caused by a lack of calcium in a baby’s body. Therefore, during treatment, we first conduct tests for trace elements and, based on detailed examination results, determine if there is a need for calcium supplements. We then coordinate vitamin D intake and evaluate the overall treatment. Additionally, attention should be paid to nutrition in diet, including eating more fruits and vegetables, ensuring adequate meat intake, avoiding junk food, drinking milk before bedtime, and getting plenty of sunlight to enhance calcium absorption. If joint deformities occur, we will consider the need for supportive devices for stabilization and correction.
