Rickets in children Symptoms, Symptoms of rickets in children?

Traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy regulates rickets in children.

Rickets is more common in infancy and is a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency that causes calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders in the body, resulting in poor calcification of bones. Rickets has a slow onset and is not easy to take seriously. Rickets reduces children's resistance, and is prone to pneumonia and diarrhea, which affects children's growth and development.

Therefore, it is necessary to actively prevent and control it.

Vitamin D deficiency rickets, referred to as rickets, is a systemic chronic nutritional disease characterized by bone lesions due to abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism caused by vitamin D deficiency, which makes the growing epiphyseal cartilage plate unable to calcify normally, resulting in bone lesions.

So vitamin D supplementation is key.

The child is now 5 years old and has missed the best period. In the early stage**, the disease is controlled, and skeletal deformities can be prevented to a certain extent. While the child is not very old now, go to the hospital again, after all, this is related to the child's life.

1. Outdoor exercise for a certain period of time every day, directly exposed to sunlight, to promote the production of endogenous vitamin D.

2. Supplement vitamin D. Give foods rich in vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and protein.

Canine rickets is a nutritional bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency, resulting in calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders, bone calcification insufficiency, and insufficient bone salt deposition. Manifested in osteogenic disorders during growth. The initial symptoms of the disease are loss of appetite, dyspepsia, heterophobia, dull coat, gradual emaciation, and slow growth and development.

Later, the limbs are plantar landing, intertoe opening, joint swelling, forelimb wrist joint deformation and pain, biarticular state, and severe claudication. The long bones are deformed and curved, with "X" or "0" shaped legs. Osteoporosis is loose, swollen, deformed, and the junction of the ribs and costochondral is bead-like.

**: Enhance outdoor activities and get more sun.

1) Add cod liver oil to food, 5 10 ml a day; Or add bone meal, shell powder, and calcium powder to food.

2) Intramuscular injection of vitamin D 330,000 50,000 units of kilogram body weight, once every 3 4 days.

3) Intravenous calcium gluconate 10 ml, 1 time a day, for 3 to 5 days.

4) Bone Enhancement Powder 1 2 sachets to be taken internally, 2 times a day.

The calves are bent, easy to wake up when sleeping, love to sweat (medically called night sweats), observe your description, the child is indeed caused by calcium deficiency, as for rickets, you had better take the child to the hospital for a serum test, see what the people there say first. **The earliest and most timely way to treat rickets is to supplement calcium and VD and exercise more. Eat calcium tablets, let your child eat some high-calcium tablets every day - calcium edge.

This is good for calcium deficiencies such as rickets, chicken breasts, and looped legs.

Rickets is a chronic calcium deficiency condition, ** be patient, in a word: calcium supplementation + exercise.

My child's night sweats are calcium, and I feel okay, but I have to eat a bottle for a long time.

Eat more foods that contain vitamin D, such as animal liver, eggs, milk, etc.

Analysis: Hello, there are two possibilities for the child's condition, one is that calcium deficiency causes rickets, and the other is that there are local lesions in the joints.

Guidance: You now need to check the child to confirm the specific situation, it is recommended to check the X-ray of the knee joint, and check the trace elements, so that you can confirm the specific situation, and then actively treat the symptoms** to return to normal as soon as possible.

Analysis: Hello, the early symptoms of rickets are hyperhidrosis, night terrors, occipital baldness, etc., and later there will be costal valgus.

Guidance: Late teething, O, X-shaped legs, etc., heavy chicken breasts, late closure of the breganelle, etc., vitamin D should be supplemented, as well as calcium, etc., and more sunlight.

After the occurrence of rickets, the early manifestations of the child are excessive sweating, crying, sleeplessness, and irritability, and the head is itchy due to excessive sweating on the head, and the child often shakes his head and causes baldness on the headrest.

The above manifestations can only suggest that parents and children may have rickets, and they need to take their children to the hospital for further examination, and do not give their children a large amount of vitamin D supplements to prevent vitamin D poisoning. If the disease progresses further, it can be seen that the child's muscles are relaxed and weak, especially the abdominal wall and intestinal wall muscles, which can cause the child's intestinal distention, and cause the abdomen to distangle like a frog's belly. The most predominant change in children with rickets is the symptoms that occur due to skeletal lesions, which are characteristic of rickets.

For children under 6 months old, gently press their occipital or parietal bones with their fingers, just like a table tennis ball**; The head of 8-9 month old children is square and the anterior fontanelle is also large, and the fontanelle does not close by 18 months.

In children around 1 year old, the junction between the ribs and the costal cartilage can be seen in the chest to bulge like beads, which is called rib beads; Thoracic deformities such as anterior sternal protrusion, "chicken breast" and valgus of the costal margin may occur. Due to the weakness of the limbs and back muscles, the child sits, stands, and walks later than a healthy child, and is prone to falling, and after the age of 1 year, the lower limbs can be bent inward or outward, and the deformity is "0" or "X" shaped legs. In addition, teething is delayed and prone to tooth decay.

Vitamin D is an effective drug for rickets, generally children can be given oral vitamin D pills, and children who cannot take oral or have diarrhea can inject vitamin D under the guidance of a doctor, and add calcium at the same time. At the same time, let the child bask in the sun more, the baby continues to breastfeed, add complementary food in time, and feed reasonably; To prevent deformity, do not let your child stand and sit for long periods of time, and do not let your child walk too early.

The situation you mentioned really needs to be paid attention to by parents, the clinical manifestations of rickets: you can observe whether the baby is easily frightened, shakes his head when sleeping, and has early symptoms such as occipital hair loss. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a blood test to check whether there is any abnormality in the blood calcium and phosphorus concentration.

In the early stage of rickets, it is often manifested as excessive sweating, easy awakening, and occipital baldness; Skeletal changes occur after development, often manifesting as square heads, bracelets, anklets, chicken breasts or pectus excavatums, X-shaped legs, or O-shaped legs.

In the early stage of rickets, due to the decrease in serum calcium, nonspecific nerve excitability is increased, manifested as irritability, night terrors, night crying, excessive sweating, irritability, loss of appetite, and some infants may have hypocalcemia tetany, laryngospasm or even convulsions. Occipital baldness, skullmalacia, and costal beading may be seen slightly.
