Question

What is a pinging head? What are the concerns? Additional question 1: How is a pinging head caused? Does it require treatment? What dietary precautions should be taken? Additional question 2: I would like to ask: Can a pinging head be identified by appearance, or is there a feeling of prominence on the head?

Answer

Deficiency in calcium can lead to rickets, one of the symptoms of which is softening of the skull, giving a sensation like that of a ping-pong ball when pressed. If left untreated, it may develop into conditions such as pigeon chest, hunchback, knock knees, and stunted growth. It is important to supplement the baby’s diet with calcium and cod liver oil, and to ensure adequate sun exposure.
