Patient's question:
A friend of mine recently encountered this situation and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was a bit in pain and couldn't sleep at night, which greatly affected his condition. Could you please tell me at what age children with rickets develop a saddle-shaped skull?Doctor's answer:
Generally, this can occur in cases of calcium deficiency. Treatment with oral fish oil and gluconate calcium can be effective, and recovery can be achieved. Don't worry. Hello, infants and young children grow and develop rapidly, making them prone to low calcium and other trace element deficiencies. This is more likely to be considered as growing pains. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest, supplement with calcium appropriately, and also have their trace elements checked for proper correction based on the results. Pay attention to a balanced diet, consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals, and encourage your child to drink plenty of water.
