Question
What are the taboos for a 1-year-old child with rickets?
Answer
Based on your description, your child may have vitamin D deficiency rickets. It is recommended to administer vitamin AD injections to your child and continue taking cod liver oil until they are two years old. At the same time, it is important to expose your child to sunlight frequently to promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as caffeine-containing beverages such as tea, coffee, and carbonated drinks. For vegetables high in oxalic acid, such as cauliflower, spinach, and amaranth, they should be blanching first to remove the oxalic acid before cooking to prevent affecting the absorption of calcium.
