Treatment of rickets

First of all, everyone needs to know what kind of disease rickets is. This kind of disease is very common in life, so everyone must have a very good understanding of this disease. Rickets is actually a disease caused by calcium deficiency in the body. The most common period of this disease is in infancy. Lack of vitamin D leads to the body's inability to synthesize calcium better, resulting in this disease.

The treatment of rickets is actually very simple. Parents should not be too nervous if their children have this disease. There is no problem in treating rickets with current medical technology, as long as it is treated in a timely manner.

Active rickets should be treated actively based on clinical manifestations, with the aim of controlling disease activity and preventing deformities.

Mild active stage: Vitamin D 200,000 to 300,000 IU, once orally or intramuscularly, 1 month apart, can be given 1 to 2 more times, and calcium supplements, 0.5 to 1 gram each time, 2 to 3 times a day, for 1 to 2 months

Active moderate to severe stage: Vitamin D 200,000-300,000 IU, orally or intramuscularly once, with an interval of 1 month, and can be given 2-3 times. At the same time, calcium supplements are given, 0.5-1 gram each time, 2-3 times a day, for 2-3 months.

Recovery period: Generally, vitamin D is not needed. Just get more sun exposure and improve nutrition. However, in winter and spring, vitamin D 200,000 to 300,000 IU can be given orally or intramuscularly once to prevent recurrence.

The above therapeutic dose of vitamin D can maintain its effect for 2 to 3 months, so there is no need to give a maintenance dose orally to prevent vitamin D poisoning. Just get more sun exposure.

Many children and adolescents are prone to picky eating and anorexia during their growth and development, which leads to the lack of some essential nutrients (zinc and calcium) in the body, inhibits the secretion of growth hormone, and causes a certain degree of obstacle to the child's growth. Zinc is one of the important elements that promote the production of growth hormone, so it is particularly important for those who are zinc deficient to supplement an appropriate amount of zinc. Xin Xibao Tablets are the third-generation zinc supplement product. Its ingredients are extracted from natural seafood. It has no side effects on the human body. While supplementing zinc, it can also promote the body's absorption of calcium ions. More than 10 years of clinical practice have shown that Xin Xibao Tablets are quite effective in promoting children's height growth.
