Kindly tell me the treatment for vitamin D deficiency in a child.
Hello doctor,
My son is 1.7 years. He had rickets sometimes back and was put on supplements for six months. Upon taking him for review, alkaline phosphatase was extremely high but calcium level was okay and was referred to an endocrinologist. Upon doing several laboratory tests, TSH was okay, PTH was low, vitamin D levels were fine and wrist X-ray was normal. The boy cannot walk and does not look as if he will soon. When standing, he bends his legs at knee point and also clenches his fists when grasping. From the looks, he seems okay. Please help.
