Question
My child has rickets and has developed a pronounced pigeon chest again. Their diet has also been poor lately. What is the first stage of rickets?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s condition may have already entered the acute stage of rickets. The symptoms of the first stage of rickets include increased excitability of the nervous system and slight changes in blood calcium and phosphorus levels, which may not be evident on an X-ray. At this point, the condition is more severe and has a significant impact on the child. If parents notice symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for a consultation. At the same time, attention should be paid to a balanced diet, and it is recommended that they consume a balanced intake of nutrients in daily life. It is hoped that your child can receive timely and effective treatment and recover soon.
