Question
Is it easy to treat infant rickets in neonatology?
Answer
Infant rickets, generally referring to a nutritional deficiency caused by a lack of vitamin D, usually begins to show symptoms around three months after birth, such as night crying, easy to be startled, restlessness, excessive sweating, and hair loss at the back of the head. The treatment for this disease primarily involves supplementing vitamin D and adjusting the diet to improve calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the timeliness of treatment. Generally speaking, early detection and appropriate treatment can effectively improve the condition, so it can be considered relatively easy to treat.
