What are the early symptoms of infantile rickets?

Patient's question:

My child is still very young, only 2 years old this year. Usually, I don't pay much attention to her when I come home from work. Recently, because the child has been causing a lot of trouble, I carefully checked and it was found to be rickets. I am very worried. What are the early symptoms of rickets in infants?

Doctor's answer:

This disease primarily occurs during infancy, and it is mainly caused by malnutrition. The treatment for rickets primarily involves digesting vitamin D to enhance the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in children, preventing metabolic disorders. Sunbathing and vitamin D digestion can demonstrate significant effectiveness in the treatment of rickets. Therefore, the main symptoms in infants include pigeon chest, O-shaped legs, open fontanelles, and delayed tooth eruption.
