NoDoctor's answer:
In the early stages of rickets, due to decreased blood calcium and increased non-specific nervous excitability, symptoms such as irritability, night sweats, night crying, excessive sweating, restlessness, and decreased appetite may appear. Some infants may also experience hypocalcemic tetany, laryngeal spasm, or even convulsions. At this stage, slight signs such as (baldness on the back of the head), softening of the skull, and changes in costal beads may be observed.
