Patient's question:
My baby is now 2 years old. The last time I took her to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said she has a vitamin D deficiency and there is some suspicion of vitamin D deficiency rickets. What are the early symptoms of this disease?Doctor's answer:
Vitamin D deficiency rickets is primarily diagnosed clinically based on skeletal changes, muscle relaxation, and non-specific neurological symptoms. Severe cases of rickets can affect the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, and immune system, while also impacting the intellectual development of children. In clinical diagnosis, it is divided into initial, acute, recovery, and residual stages. Pay attention to your diet.
