Question
The baby is 1 year and 5 months old, with current symptoms of ribcage outward curvature. The baby could walk independently at 1 year and 2 months without any abnormalities; rickets were discovered about a year ago, during which time intermittent doses of calcium acetate and zinc supplements were taken.
Answer
This situation can be managed with calcium supplements and Vitamin AD capsules, along with ensuring adequate sun exposure. If necessary, a detailed pediatric examination should be conducted, along with a trace element check. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to rickets. For parents, it’s important not to panic and to take the child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Regular checks should also be performed, and medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
