Patient's question:
Child 42 days, recently has not slept well, kept humming at night. A doctor said it might be an early sign of rickets. What are the early symptoms of rickets?Doctor's answer:
Early on, the child often sweats excessively on the head during feeding and deep sleep. This sweating causes local irritation, making the child dislike shaking their head. When shaking their head, the back of the head is rubbed, and over time, this leads to acne. Additionally, the child is restless and easily startled during deep sleep. Rickets can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which helps digest vitamins and prevent stomach upsets. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
