Rickets in children is a common disease in children. Patients may experience nerve excitement, difficulty sleeping at night, and irritability during the day, which can cause serious sequelae in children. Therefore, parents should understand the causes of rickets in children and take preventive measures. So, what is the cause of pediatric rickets?
Rickets in children is mainly caused by a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium elements in their bodies, which can be classified into different reasons. Firstly, after a child is born, the lack of vitamin D and calcium in the food they are fed, and if parents do not promptly detect and supplement them, it can lead to rickets in children. Meanwhile, if children are not exposed to sunlight or live in areas with insufficient sunlight, it can affect the synthesis of vitamin D in the body and lead to rickets.
Finally, if the diet consumed by pregnant women during pregnancy is deficient in vitamins and calcium, resulting in a lack of these elements in the child's development, then the child born will suffer from rickets. Most cases of rickets in children can be greatly improved or even cured after treatment. Therefore, after diagnosis, parents should actively take their children for treatment, and the earlier the treatment, the better the effect.
During treatment, children should mainly consume more vitamin D and calcium elements, take medication prescribed by doctors, and supplement nutrition in their diet. If a child has already developed bone deformities, orthodontic appliances or surgery are generally used to improve the symptoms of bone deformities. With medication and surgical treatment, the child's life will return to normal.
