Question
How effective is the treatment for pediatric rickets? What is the difficulty level?
Answer
Rickets is a disease in early childhood caused by a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium supplements, leading to abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism and affecting skeletal development. It may result in skeletal deformities such as pigeon chest, square head, and leg deformities. Rickets is relatively common in children. If detected early and treated with scientific supplementation of vitamin D and calcium supplements, while also paying attention to the child’s posture and exercise, the disease can be effectively treated.
