Question
What kind of diseases can be treated in pediatric surgery, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Could you please tell me which department to visit for children’s rickets?
Answer
Based on your description, if you suspect your baby has rickets, it is recommended to schedule a visit to the pediatric department for a detailed examination. The symptoms of rickets typically include excessive sweating, easy to be startled, and rocking the head while sleeping. In severe cases, there may be bow legs and pigeon chest. You can take your baby to a regular hospital’s pediatric department for examination, where diagnosis is generally made through bone density tests or X-rays. I hope this information is helpful to you.
