Question
Does a lack of calcium in babies lead to an ongoing enlargement of the head circumference?
Answer
Children with a calcium deficiency may show symptoms of an enlarged head circumference, known as a square-shaped head. They may also experience symptoms such as night sweats, night terrors, and bald spots on the pillow. In more severe cases, there may also be conditions like ribcage deformities. Calcium deficiency is not related to intelligence but is associated with bone development and may lead to malformed or fragile bones.
