Can we give vitamin d alone for a 2 year old child with bow legs only with normal antropometry and on both breast milk and non diary food items. and what is the radiologic diferenc between rickets and physiologic bowing. thank you verymuch doctor x?

Rickets occurs when there is a deficiency of vitamin D. Physiologic bowing of legs can be a genetic condition which is not affected by diet or vitamin D. Supplementation with vitamin D may help if the leg bowing is a result of Rickets. Talk to the childs Pediatrician to formulate an appropriate plan which may include imaging, blood tests and supplementation.
