Question
The one-year-old child has fine, yellow hair, and the hair is curly in some strands. The child dislikes scratching their head, doesn’t like to eat, and has dry stools. Could the fine yellow hair indicate rickets?
Answer
Hello, your baby’s condition is not rickets. Generally speaking, rickets is mainly manifested in skeletal deformities. It is recommended to enhance your baby’s nutrition by eating more vegetables and fruits, and to ensure adequate intake of digestive vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements. Rickets can have a significant impact on children. Once you notice symptoms in your child, it is important to take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. Also, pay close attention to your child’s care issues. It is recommended to have a light diet and eat less spicy and irritating food. We hope your child can receive appropriate treatment and recover!
