What is a ping pong head? Are there any relationships?

Patient's question:

What is a ping pong head? Are there any relationships? First follow-up question: How is a ping pong head caused? Does it need treatment? What should be noted in diet? Second follow-up question: Sorry, I would also like to ask: Can a ping pong head be seen externally, or does it feel like there are bumps on the head.

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
1. Calcium deficiency can lead to rickets, one symptom of which is softer skull bones, feeling like pressing on a table tennis ball. If left untreated, it can develop into pigeon chest, hunchback, bowlegs, and short stature.
2. You should supplement your baby with calcium and cod liver oil, and get more sun exposure.
