Question
A 4-month-old baby has been diagnosed with rickets. The inquiry is whether the baby needs to be injected with vitamin D and whether the dosage of supplementary vitamin D is sufficient, with concerns about potential residual symptoms such as flat head and pigeon chest after treatment.
Answer
Following the doctor’s advice, the baby has been prescribed Chiao-Ti brand pediatric calcium D3 granules, and it is recommended to increase outdoor activities and sunlight exposure in the future, while also ensuring adequate calcium intake through diet. If there is concern about insufficient vitamin D intake, consider following the doctor’s instructions for injection. As for post-treatment complications, appropriate treatment and adjustments to lifestyle habits can help alleviate or prevent these symptoms.
