Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Could you please tell me what the main clinical manifestations of early rickets are?Doctor's answer:
Vitamin D deficiency rickets in the early stage, crying during naps, waking up startled after falling asleep, excessive sweating, and easily shaking the head during naps, leading to bald spots on the back of the head. These are all early symptoms. If the condition is more severe, you may see the baby developing bowed legs or pigeon chest. If you suspect your baby is sick, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital for bone density or X-ray tests for diagnosis.
