How to diagnose and prevent rickets?

Rickets is a clinical condition caused by a deficiency of active vitamin D in the body, leading to abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Early symptoms include neurological issues such as irritability and excessive sweating, followed by deformities in the skull and ribs. As children grow, they may be left with varying degrees of skeletal deformities, such as bow legs.

Infants aged 3-6 months may have softening of the skull, with a sensation of pressing on the occiput like a ping-pong ball; by 6 months, swelling in the wrists and ankles may appear, resembling bracelets; at 8-9 months, the skull may be easily concave or saddle-shaped, with delayed closure of the anterior and posterior fontanelles; teeth eruption may be delayed and irregularly aligned.
