Patient's question:
What diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Could you please tell me what the symptoms of rickets in children are?Doctor's answer:
Rickets is a series of clinical manifestations caused by abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body, triggered by a deficiency of active vitamin D in the body. In the early stages of the disease, there will be no changes in the bones, mostly presenting with neurological symptoms such as irritability and excessive sweating. Gradually, there may be repeated abnormal growth and development of the skull and ribs. In the end, different skeletal deformities may remain, such as O-shaped legs.
