Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
A slight indentation of the chest in a four-month-old infant may be one of the early signs of rickets. Rickets is a bone disorder caused by vitamin D deficiency, and supplementing with vitamin D is a key measure in treating this condition. AD drops, which contain vitamins A and D, can help improve vitamin D deficiency, but may not be sufficient alone to rapidly correct rickets.
In general, under a doctor's guidance, vitamin D3 drops can be used alongside AD drops. Expired Mama Love probiotics, if still within their expiration date, can usually be used. However, once past the expiration date, their potency may decrease and their effectiveness may be reduced; therefore, it is recommended to use them before they expire.
All medications and supplements should be used under the supervision of a doctor. It is also recommended to have regular follow-ups to monitor the progress of rickets treatment.
