Question
My child was recently diagnosed with rickets by a doctor. I would like to know how to treat it and if it can be completely cured.
Answer
Rickets is caused by a calcium deficiency. Treatment should involve using liquid or granular calcium supplements specifically designed for children, under the guidance of a doctor, and with regular follow-ups. At the same time, it’s important to consume foods rich in calcium and expose the child to sunlight to promote calcium absorption. With timely and appropriate treatment, good care, ensuring a balanced diet, and avoiding picky eating, rickets can be completely cured.
