Patient's question:
It seems to be a calcium deficiency. Without treatment, what kind of assistance is needed: We expect to be given a more specific reason so that we can implement supplementation.Doctor's answer:
This situation may be caused by a potential calcium deficiency. When infants and young children lack calcium, the first symptoms are soft skull bones, large fontanelles, and a feeling like a ping-pong ball when pressing the skull. Later, the chest bone may have abnormal shapes, such as a protruding sternum resembling pigeon chest, or outwardly flipped lower ribs. If the lower limbs are soft, standing and bearing weight may lead to "O" legs or "X" legs. In addition to bone changes, early symptoms include excessive sweating at night, baldness on the back of the head forming, restless and easily startled deep sleep, and delayed tooth development. These symptoms are collectively referred to as vitamin D deficiency rickets. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a detailed examination of trace elements and, after confirmation, to digest them in adequate amounts.
