Question
What are the early symptoms of vitamin D deficiency rickets?
Answer
The early symptoms of vitamin D deficiency rickets are primarily signs of calcium deficiency, such as excessive sweating and irritability. As the condition advances, it may result in changes to the skeletal structure. Diagnosis usually depends on a history of vitamin D deficiency, insufficient sunlight exposure, clinical manifestations, and physical examination, along with blood calcium levels and skeletal X-rays. In terms of diet, it is recommended to maintain a light and avoid eating freely.
