Question
How should excessive sweating caused by rickets be treated?
Answer
Rickets can manifest as irritability, restlessness during deep sleep, and easy to be awakened, and some children may even experience a large mouth, pigeon chest, or even “O” or “X” shaped legs. These symptoms are mainly due to a lack of vitamin D and can be diagnosed by symptoms and related examinations. Active treatment should be pursued to prevent the development of skeletal deformities. It is recommended to consistently breastfeed the baby, provide complementary foods at the appropriate time, and take appropriate calcium supplements and vitamin D, and expose the baby to sunlight more often on warm days.
