Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? What deficiencies cause rickets in children?Doctor's answer:
Rickets are caused by a deficiency of active vitamin D in the body, leading to an absorption of calcium, resulting in early calcium deficiency and increased nervous system excitability. For example, babies may have difficulty falling into deep sleep, excessive sweating on the head after napping, and frequent night terrors. There may also be baldness on the back of the head. If vitamin D is not supplemented in time, as the child grows older, abnormal changes in the bones may occur again.
