Question
Is taking vitamin D powder effective for rickets?
Answer
Generally, if a child lacks vitamin D, it may lead to calcium deficiency, which can manifest as night sweats, grinding teeth, leg cramps, and delayed growth. It is recommended to give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Eicosin (containing VD), and include foods rich in liver, milk, and egg yolks. At the same time, it is suggested that the child get more sunlight to increase the synthesis of vitamin D in their body and promote the absorption of calcium from food in the intestines.
