Such diseases as rickets, even in the modern world has not lost its danger. As before, this is a fairly common childhood disease that is very afraid of all the parents and all the forces trying to prevent it.

When one hears about the main symptoms of rickets, most is pale child with a big belly and crooked legs. In principle, this image is true, but it is true only in the case when we are talking about very advanced stage of disease.

But there are earlier signs of rickets in children, which can be recognized this strange disease, and makes it easy to see and distinguish.

I'd like to acquaint readers with the symptoms of congenital rickets in kids:

  • The size of a large fontanel in children suffering from rickets, more than 3 cm;

  • The side and the small Fontanelle open;

  • The joints between bones of the skull are gaping (differ);

  • The level of calcium and phosphorus in the blood serum of the child very low;

  • Low bone mineralization, which can be easily detected using ultrasound.

Now you should consider the signs of rickets in infants easy forms. These children differ from healthy children in small stunted growth, greater sweating. The large Fontanelle closes them slower than their peers, and mental anxiety in these children is much higher. Rickets can be noticed if the skull bones of the baby are pliable, and the head is sealing and baldness.

The Behavior of kids suffering from rickets, is completely changed: they become sluggish, fearful and capricious. They are constantly worried about itching, as during sleep the head the babies in the back of my head sweats.

First signs of rickets appear at 2-3 month of life babies. Therefore, mothers should be more attentive to their children in order to notice disease symptoms and to prevent their further development. Noticing that the little sweating heavily, often capricious slept uneasily and visibly stunted from their peers, you need to consult with a specialist. To make a proper diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe biochemical analysis of blood.

With a mild form of the disease is clear, and what the signs of rickets typical for moderate forms? In this form all the symptoms only increase, and they added a few more:

  • The thorax of the child is deformed – it may bulge forward, and to be sunken.

  • The Stomach becomes wide and large, this is due to muscular hypotonia. Such a stomach is called “frogs”.

  • The Intercostal spaces are quite noticeable. Also noteworthy is the groove – the border between the abdomen and thorax,  which is called Garrisonable furrow.

  • The head Form is changed: the neck is thickened, and the parietal and frontal bossing becomes more pronounced.

This kid gets tired quickly, doesn't play active games, later starts to babble and easily awakened. In some cases, children can have a tremor of the chin and legs. Those same children that have not yet stand up on his feet, they can be deformed and become similar to the letter “on” or “x”.

Signs of rickets heavy forms look compared to other particularly dangerous and frightening. They occur:

  • In serious deformities of the skull bones, limbs and the chest;

  • A pronounced lag in mental and physical development;

  • Breathing difficulties (shortness of breath);

  • Increased heart rate;

  • The increased size of the liver;

  • The apparent fragility of the bones (from minor impacts they can even break down);

  • Weakness. These kids often can't sit without support, and that independently to get out of the crib, out of the question.

As you can see, rickets more than a dangerous disease, so try to follow closely the development of the baby and do not leave unattended, even the smallest, but suspicious symptoms. Rickets is much easier to prevent than to cure. Keep this in mind and even at the slightest suspicion to ask the experts.
