Sweating excessively and being irritable could it be rickets?

Patient's question:

My baby has been sweating a lot since childhood while taking naps and also tends to be irritable. They are about 90 cm tall and weigh 13 kilograms. Their intellectual and physical development are normal, and their appetite is also normal. Could the sweating and irritability be due to rickets?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, from your description, it seems the child does not have a confirmed diagnosis of rickets. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination by a professional pediatrician and have the child's trace elements tested. A small number of children have delayed fontanel closure, which is not something to worry about. If the child is affected by rickets, the mother must take the child to the hospital for immediate treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
