Patient's question:
What diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Could you please tell me what the symptoms of rickets are?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of rickets are commonly seen in children, such as irritability, excessive sweating, restless deep sleep, night terrors, and night awakenings. In addition to some skeletal changes, such as a square skull, sagittal groove, pigeon chest, rib flaring, Harlequin groove, and bracelet sign, etc. The patient is relatively old, and it is likely that they had rickets in childhood, which was not treated or treated in a timely manner, leading to the current hunchback deformity. Current medication treatment is not very effective. If it causes significant lifestyle impairment or severe pain symptoms, surgical treatment can also be considered.
