Rickets may be divided into mild and severo cases. A mild usually shows no apparent symptoms and is not easily recognised by the common people. After some time it becomes severer and the bones of the different
parts of the body show marked changes which
can then be recognised by sight.
(a) Mild Rickets: The patient is usually six to eighteen months old. At first the face is pale. There is a lot of sweating of the head, especially during sleep. The patient is restless at night with cough and plenty of phlegm and is easily attacked by.
colds.
(b) Severe Rickela.—If a mild case does not receive appropriate treat- ment at its commencement, the symptoms gradually become more marked. In addition to those just described, the patient may develop convulsions or spasms of the throat, the bony changes become more marked. The hands of the head become irregular and the chest bones drawn in; the spine shows changes until the patient develops hump- back; and the bones of the lower limbs become bow-shaped.
