Symptoms of vitamin deficiency in children

Lack of vitamins in children can lead to extreme fatigue and low energy. In addition, symptoms such as loss of appetite, weakness, and malnutrition may occur. Due to subperiosteal hemorrhage, children may develop pseudoparalysis, swelling, and tenderness. A small number of patients may also present with hip joint abduction and semi-flexion of the knee joint. Treatment can include vitamin C supplementation and increased consumption of vegetables and fruits in the diet. To minimize vitamin C loss, eating more raw salads is recommended.
