Question
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and what symptoms fall under pediatric internal medicine? Can rickets be cured in children?
Answer
Rickets, also known as “soft bone disease,” is primarily caused by a deficiency of vitamin D in children’s bodies. If not effectively treated, children may develop skeletal deformities. Early symptoms include restlessness, crying, sleeplessness, and excessive sweating. If not treated promptly, symptoms such as flat head, ribcage deformities, pigeon chest, funnel chest, bow legs, and knock knees may appear. Children can take Longmu Strong Bone Granules and vitamin D supplements to effectively control the progression of rickets. Additionally, parents should often take their children out to bask in suitable sunlight, ensure they receive adequate vitamin D and calcium gluconate, and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables.
