Treatment for calcinosis in pediatric patients can be challenging and often depends on the underlying cause. Some potential treatment options include:
Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and other immunosuppressive agents can help reduce inflammation and pain. Surgical Intervention: In severe cases, surgical removal of calcium deposits may be necessary. Physical Therapy: This can help improve the range of motion and reduce pain in affected joints. Dietary Modifications: Ensuring adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D while avoiding excessive calcium supplementation can help manage the condition.
