Question
The baby’s right side ribs from the fourth to the sixth rib are prominently bulging compared to the other side. What should be done? Seeking advice for the little one.
Answer
- Vitamin D deficiency rickets is a common condition in infants and toddlers.
- Based on the situation, if a one-year-old baby has the right side ribs from the fourth to the sixth rib prominently bulging compared to the other side, it suggests a calcium deficiency. In conjunction with the CT results, this condition is also indicated; however, it is recommended to conduct blood tests for alkaline phosphatase levels and calcium levels.
- For digestion, Icodextrin can be used, along with oral calcium gluconate solution or bone calcium granules.
