提問
我寶寶生下來五個月了， bones are still not changing, and he remains curled up, with his head tilting forward. We previously consulted a doctor, who advised us to give him liquid calcium to supplement his diet. However, after a month, there has been no improvement. Is there a deficiency of certain substances in babies with rickets?
回答
The main cause of rickets in children is vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sunlight exposure, which can lead to growth retardation, weakened immunity, and severe cases can result in bone deformation. It is crucial to supplement with vitamin D, spend time in the sun, and consume calcium supplements, along with regular check-ups. Daily sunlight exposure of about 1 to 2 hours should be sufficient; there is no need for an extended period.
