Patient's question:
Recently, my son has been having trouble sleeping at night, sweating a lot, and constantly scratching his head as if it's itchy. There's even a bald spot around it. When I took him for vaccinations, the doctor mentioned that he has some symptoms similar to early-stage vitamin D deficiency rickets. The doctor suggested getting him checked. What are the causes of vitamin D deficiency rickets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main cause of vitamin D deficiency rickets is the lack of calcium and vitamin AD, which can lead to skeletal development deformities. It is recommended that you visit the local growth and development clinic to check if there is a deficiency in trace elements and vitamin AD, and then receive targeted treatment. Generally, oral gluconate calcium and vitamin AD drops are required, while also paying attention to rest, getting more sun exposure, and strengthening exercise.
