My son is 8 years old. When he was 2 yrs. he was suffering from Rickets. We had taken treatment and after sometime he was fine. From the last few days again there r symptoms of Rickets which we can easily look in his arms, elbows. Can u pl. suggest some treatment. I have started giving him calcium tablets. As his doctor has gone abroad for 10 days, pl. also advise me can it be harmful for him.
== rickets is unusal due to nutritiona reasons at this age. one cant see it easily too. if he is otherwise normal , i should doubt the diagnosis fo rickets and /or think of some other diagnosis that may eb present along with.
