What are the symptoms of rickets in children?

Patient's question:

My baby is one year old. Today, I took my baby to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my baby has rickets. What are the symptoms of rickets in children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: The manifestation of rickets in newborns is that their limbs are relatively short and more noticeable, and the baby's head is larger than normal with a prominent forehead. Some may exhibit significant behavioral abnormalities, such as restless sleep, frequent crying, and excessive sweating. Due to excessive sweating, the head may become itchy, and the baby may rub their head against the pillow, resulting in a noticeable bald spot on the back of the head.
