Patient's question:
Condition Description (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): What diseases will a child get if they lack vitamin D?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vitamin D deficiency mainly causes rickets, primarily manifesting as bone changes in the fastest-growing parts of the body. It can lead to softened cranial bones, square skulls, pigeon chests,, or X-shaped and O-shaped legs. It can also cause general muscle relaxation, reduced muscle tone, and weakened muscle strength. In daily life, a baby's diet should be a balance of meat and vegetables. For infants under one year old who are breastfed, they need to take fish oil daily. It's also important to take the baby outdoors more often to get sunlight to promote calcium absorption.
