Question
Baby with Congenital Kyphosis Seeking Treatment?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby may have contracted rickets, a condition caused by a lack of vitamin D leading to poor calcium absorption and subsequently lowering blood calcium levels. The treatment primarily involves long-term vitamin D supplementation, increased outdoor activities, and exposure to sunlight to allow the skin to absorb the rays and promote vitamin D synthesis, which can help improve the condition more quickly. Additionally, it is important to actively participate in physical exercise to maintain physical and mental balance, as well as personal hygiene.
