Dr. Xie Zixing
Rickets in children is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium in the body. During growth and development, children's bones require adequate supplementation of vitamin D and calcium. Treatment for childhood rickets should involve taking vitamins and calcium supplements orally as directed by a physician. In daily diet, children can consume calcium-rich foods such as kelp and shrimp shells.
