Question
A friend of mine has been experiencing this issue recently and has been in the hospital for a while. I visited him, and he said he had some pain and couldn’t sleep at night, which greatly affected his condition. Is taking vitamin D powder effective for rickets?
Answer
Generally, if a child lacks vitamin D, it can lead to calcium deficiency, which may cause symptoms such as night sweats, grinding teeth, leg cramps, and delayed growth. It is recommended to give the child Ercixin (containing VD) as medication, and include foods rich in liver, milk, and egg yolks in the diet. It is also suggested to have the child get more sun exposure to increase the synthesis of vitamin D in their bodies and promote the absorption of calcium from food.
