Q. Which foods can help a child with osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 to gain weight?
Hi doctor,
My son is 11 years old and has osteogenesis imperfecta type 1. His weight is less than 20 kg. What can I give him for weight gain? I am a single mother, so please suggest something which is not too expensive.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I still need many details for proper medical intervention. I suggest you follow these tips:
- Encourage your son to have a high-protein diet.
- He can have foods fortified with vitamin D, like milk, yogurt, fish, or grains.
- Ask him to do muscle strengthening exercises.
- Ask him to rest for eight to nine hours
- Encourage him to do breathing exercises.
