Question
A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently for unknown reasons. What are the solutions for a baby’s splayed ribs on both sides?
Answer
Your situation may be due to a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium, which can be done in two ways: through calcium supplements or dietary calcium. The most common and traditional calcium-rich foods are dairy and dairy products, which not only contain abundant calcium but are also easy to absorb. Dairy and dairy products are also rich in minerals and vitamins, including Vitamin D, which promotes the absorption and utilization of calcium. Yogurt is also a very good calcium supplement; it not only provides calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for various groups of people. For those who do not like milk or are intolerant to milk, it is advisable to consume more alternative foods such as oysters, seaweed, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, turnips, carrots, kale, and bok choy.
