If the disease develops further, it can be seen that the muscles of the child are flabby, especially the muscles of the abdominal wall and intestinal wall, which can cause the child's flatulence and cause the abdomen to swell like a frog's abdomen.
The most important change in children with rickets is due to the symptoms of skeletal lesions, which is the characteristic manifestation of rickets.
For children under 6 months, lightly pressing their occipital bone or parietal bone with their fingers is like table tennis. For children aged 8-9 months, their heads are square, and their front fontanel is too large. Until 18 months ago, the fontanel could not be closed. At 1 year-old children's chest, the junction of ribs and costal cartilage can be seen as beads, and a "chicken breast" can appear. Because of the weakness of limbs and back muscles, children sit, stand and walk later than healthy children, and are prone to fall and fall. When walking, you will find that both lower limbs bend inward or outward, which is an "O"-shaped leg or an "X"-shaped leg. Children's teething is also delayed, and tooth decay is prone to occur.
Vitamin D is an effective drug to treat rickets. Generally, children can take vitamin D pills orally. For children who can't take them orally or have diarrhea, they can be injected with vitamin D under the guidance of a doctor. It is the most effective way to prevent rickets to let children get more sunshine and feed them scientifically and reasonably. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate vitamin D can also be supplemented at the right time.
