Question
Rickets has led to bone deformities. Are there any treatment methods? How should it be treated?
Answer
Rickets, also known as infantile calcium deficiency, still has a relatively high incidence rate. The key to treating rickets is to supplement vitamin D, not just calcium; the treatment plan should also be determined based on the severity of the condition. Mild rickets can be treated with Eicosin; for moderate to severe cases, high doses of vitamin D3 may be required, with Incanol (Cholecalciferol Milk) commonly used for moderate to severe rickets. The dosage is as follows: mix the Cholecalciferol Milk with an appropriate amount of warm water, milk, or soy milk for consumption. Due to the limited information you provided, we cannot offer a specific treatment plan. We suggest taking your child to the hospital for treatment and following the doctor’s guidance. Timely treatment is crucial for the child’s recovery. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your child receives vitamin D and calcium supplements regularly, maintain a balanced diet, as various nutrients affect metabolism and growth during the growth and development stage. It is also advisable to avoid prolonged sitting, standing, or staying in one position for your child and to regularly bring them to pediatric or child health clinics for health checks, consulting with the doctor about the child’s bone development and trace elements, to ensure timely treatment and help adjust the child’s bones.
