Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency in children typically include increased nervous excitability, primarily manifested as significant restlessness during the day, making the child difficult to soothe. At night, the child's heightened alertness can lead to insomnia; even when asleep, they frequently wake up startled, experiencing night terrors. Other symptoms may include excessive sweating,枕秃 (bald spots on the back of the head), enlarged frontal bones, delayed teething, and so on.
