Question
What is the reason for a 3-year-old child to cry out while sleeping at night?
Answer
A 3-year-old girl frequently experiences crying out in her sleep at night, which might be attributed to the sequelae of rickets. This condition is common in children over 3 years old. After treatment or natural recovery, symptoms may disappear, but varying degrees of skeletal deformities may remain. If there is no change observed in the 3-6 month period, mild to moderate cases generally do not leave sequelae. It is important to promote health education on the prevention and treatment of rickets, taking full advantage of natural conditions and strongly advocating for more sun exposure.
