Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old girl was found to be walking abnormally in the summer. After examination, she was diagnosed with rickets and O-shaped legs, and was found to be deficient in multiple vitamins. What should be done to handle this situation?
Answer
The baby’s rickets may have been caused by a past deficiency of vitamin A and D. It is currently recommended to gradually supplement various vitamins and observe if there is any improvement in the condition, which may improve as she grows older. In terms of diet, there should not be excessive restrictions, avoid picky eating, and pay attention to boosting immunity. When facing this disease, one should maintain a normal mindset, engage in regular exercise, and increase outdoor activities.
