Rickets is a softening and weakening of the bones in children caused by a severe and sustained vitamin D deficiency. Rickets can also be caused by rare hereditary disorders. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from diet by your child's body. Lack of vitamin D makes maintaining correct calcium and phosphorus levels in bones challenging, which can lead to rickets. In most cases, supplementing the diet with vitamin D or calcium corrects the bone abnormalities associated with rickets. When rickets is caused by another underlying medical condition, your kid may require additional medications or treatment. Certain bone abnormalities induced by rickets may necessitate surgery to rectify. Rare genetic illnesses caused by low amounts of phosphorus, the other mineral component of bone, may necessitate the use of additional drugs.
