Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Son has been tossing and turning a lot during his nap recently for the past month, hasn't slept soundly, and has been getting lots of pimples on his head. Then he keeps rubbing his head back and forth on the pillow. I thought it might be due to calcium deficiency, but my cousin said it might be early symptoms of rickets. What are the rickets in children?
Doctor's answer:
Scoliosis is primarily caused by calcium deficiency, leading to skeletal changes such as square skulls, beaded ribs, rib flaring, X-shaped or O-shaped legs, or pigeon chest. The most common early symptoms of calcium deficiency in babies include bald spots on the back of the head, excessive sweating during deep sleep, and frequent waking during deep sleep. If these symptoms reappear, it is important to supplement the baby with calcium promptly. Fish liver oil can be digested to enhance calcium absorption.
