What are the symptoms of rickets in children? Which diseases fall under pediatrics? How should rib symptoms caused by rickets be treated?

Answer

Based on your description, rickets in children may be accompanied by symptoms such as night terrors and cramps due to calcium deficiency. Severe rickets can lead to deformities such as bow legs, knock knees, or pigeon chest. It is important to promptly supplement calcium and vitamin D, and it is recommended to consume foods rich in calcium, such as fish, shrimp shells, seaweed, etc., and to get plenty of sunlight to promote calcium absorption. Additionally, consuming egg, fish, and dairy products can promote growth. These methods can help treat rickets and may lead to healing.
