Reasons for baby's rib valgus

You may not know that the symptoms of baby's rib valgus are mainly caused by calcium deficiency and malnutrition. In our lives, we should deal with the situation of baby's rib valgus in time, so that we can better get rid of the harm of the disease. I hope you can learn more about the relevant knowledge and suppress the disease of baby's rib valgus.

Give your child calcium supplements in time. Children should pay attention to dietary supplements as much as possible for calcium supplementation. They should eat more foods high in calcium, such as bones, dried shrimps, bone soup, fresh fish, live shrimps, kelp, milk and soy products. Of course, they should also drink some cod liver oil and calcium tablets appropriately. Milk calcium is one of the best ways to supplement calcium. Milk calcium is easy to absorb and has good effects. You can try calcium supplements such as Bone Jianle. Pay more attention to sun exposure and supplement vitamin AD. I wish your baby good health.

For bone changes such as rib valgus, also known as rickets, doctors often recommend a vitamin D injection of about 300,000 units for more serious cases. But in reality, parents cannot find it anywhere because the demand for this injection is low and it has been out of production for a long time, so it is impossible to find it. The only domestically produced vitamin D brand is Yingkangli from Shanghai, which is an oral solution with about 150,000 units per vial. (You can use "Yingkangli" in Google to search for details. If it is not available locally, you will have to ask friends and relatives to buy it for you at Shanghai Xinyi Pharmacy. It is also called Vitamin D emulsion.) In fact, if there is no gastrointestinal problem that cannot be absorbed, or the situation is extremely serious, oral administration is better than injection. You can also take 5000-10000 units of vitamin D orally every day depending on the severity of the condition, and change the preventive dose to around 500 after one month. Since there is no separate vitamin D in China, it is available in Europe and the United States, and you can ask someone to send it to you.

The above describes a more serious situation. However, for children nowadays, if they get enough sun exposure, have cod liver oil added to their breast milk (because breast milk is low in vitamin D), or have enough vitamin D in their milk powder (infants need 400-500 units of vitamin D per day), they will generally only suffer from a mild calcium deficiency at most, unless they have long-term chronic diarrhea and malabsorption, in which case the condition will be more serious.

The latest statement is that the treatment of rickets does not require such a high dose. For mild cases, 1000-2000 units per day, and for moderate cases, 2000-5000 units are enough (early statements were that the minimum therapeutic dose is 5000 units), and after one month, change to a preventive dose.

If the child is only mildly calcium deficient and has trouble sleeping (there are many reasons for poor sleep, and calcium deficiency is only one of the more common ones), and the above two substances are not easy to obtain, you can also use cod liver oil, Icosin or Beterin, 2-3 tablets, in which vitamin A and D are 3 to 1. Generally speaking, when it comes to vitamin AD, people worry about overdose poisoning because these two are fat-tolerant vitamins and will exist in the body. But in reality, it takes an overdose.

The above article introduces the causes of baby rib valgus. I hope everyone can understand it well. Giving children calcium supplements requires careful considerations. You must not supplement calcium blindly. A certain amount is required. Moreover, the baby's physical development requires not only calcium, but more importantly, it is necessary to pay attention to balanced nutrition.
