What is the problem with a child's forehead protrusion?

What is the cause of my child’s protruding forehead? When faced with this situation, many parents are confused, but you have to remind parents that a child’s protruding forehead is sometimes caused by a lack of certain nutrients in the body, such as calcium deficiency. Therefore, parents should also pay attention to their baby’s various nutritional supplements when taking care of him.

A square head does not mean that the forehead protrudes forward, but that the temples protrude to the sides. The main manifestations of rickets caused by calcium deficiency in infants are as follows.

?In the early stages of neuropsychiatric symptoms, children sweat excessively on their heads during feeding and sleeping. Excessive sweating causes local irritation, and the children like to shake their heads. When you shake your head, the back of your head is rubbed, which causes hair loss over time. In addition, the child is restless and easily awakened during sleep. ?Bone changes: Infants aged 3 to 6 months may have skull softening, which means when you press the center of the occipital bone or parietal bone with your fingers, the area will sink inward, but the skull will bounce back when you relax your fingers, just like pressing a ping-pong ball, so it is also called ping-pong head.

In children over 6 months old, the distal ends of the long bones in the forearms and calves can be felt, and even ring-shaped protrusions formed by hypertrophic bones can be seen, resembling bracelets or anklets. In infants over 8 or 9 months old, there is excessive accumulation of bone-like tissue under the periosteum of the frontal and parietal bones on both sides, which may form a square skull. Some children have delayed teething. Some ribs are sunken, causing the body of the sternum to protrude outward, forming a pigeon chest. If the xiphoid process of the sternum is sunken inward, it may form a funnel chest. When a child walks, his lower limbs bear the weight, and due to the softening of bones, he may develop O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs. In addition, the child's muscles are loose and the abdomen is bulging, often like a frog's belly.

No matter which nutrient a child's body lacks, it will cause great harm to his health. Therefore, if parents want to ensure the healthy growth of their children, they should pay attention to their healthy diet and the various nutrients needed by the body. Do not let them suffer from calcium deficiency or other adverse phenomena.
