Patient's question:
My friend's child has been crying a lot recently, and even when taking naps, they can't sleep peacefully. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, it was discovered that they have vitamin D deficiency rickets. What are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of this disease are primarily many symptoms of calcium deficiency, such as easy sweating and irritability. When it develops to a certain extent, it can lead to changes in the bones. The diagnosis of rickets is mainly based on a history of vitamin D deficiency, a lack of sunlight exposure, and clinical diagnostic symptoms and signs. Combining blood tests and skeletal X-ray examinations can provide a definitive diagnosis. Proper dietary management is very important. The diet should be light, and do not eat food randomly.
