If a baby has too little vitamin D in their body, it is easy to cause rickets. Although rickets is not a life-threatening disease, it also poses a serious threat to rapidly growing babies. Can a baby with rickets be cured?
Whether it can be cured depends on the severity of the baby's rickets. Generally, it can be cured in the early stages of illness, and there will not be too serious sequelae. But if the baby's condition has reached a late stage, it can be cured, but there will be sequelae.
If the baby has rickets, parents should supplement him with more vitamin D. The best way to feed a baby is through breastfeeding. Especially premature infants and babies with particularly low birth weight. If there is sufficient sunlight, take your baby to bask in the sun more often.
Massage therapy can also be used. Adopting a seated position, parents use their thumbs to press the baby's tonifying spleen meridian and tonifying stomach meridian. Press 100 times each time. Then use the belly of the middle finger to massage the baby's little heart for two minutes each.
Strike therapy can also be used, which requires high doses of vitamin D. But this method is generally only suitable for babies with severe rickets who cannot take it orally. It is best not to use it for general rickets, as it can easily lead to vitamin D poisoning. It is best to consult a doctor before treating rickets.
