10 Symptoms of Rickets
Symptom #2: Stunted Growth
Our skeletons are essential for our growth. If the skeleton is not able to grow as it should, then our overall growth can also be stunted, leaving us shorter and generally smaller than we should be.
This is particularly problematic in children that still have plenty of growing to do. It can also be difficult to spot quickly as growth tends to happen over a long period of time. If you do think that your child is not developing physically as they should be, speak with a doctor as soon as possible.
