Another type of problem is hypovitaminosis. Such a disease is characterized by a decrease in the body's vitamin content of a particular group. The condition is not as critical as in the previous case, but also requires immediate intervention.
Vitamin deficiency is especially dangerous for children. It can lead to serious development problems. All babies are at risk, but it is especially worth paying attention to the following categories:
- those born with a body weight of less than 2500 grams.;
- children from families with low social status;
- allergy sufferers;
- those who have recently suffered rickets or anemia;
- with a tendency to colds.
Symptoms of beriberi
The manifestations depend on which group of vitamins the baby lacks. A doctor will be able to determine exactly this. It is not recommended to prescribe treatment on your own. An overabundance of certain substances can be no less dangerous than a deficiency.
Common signs of hypovitaminosis and vitamin deficiency include:
- weakness;
- drowsiness;
- irritability;
- absent-mindedness;
- sleep problems;
- hair loss;
- dryness and cracking of the skin, rashes;
- atypical taste preferences (chalk, sand, etc.).
In more advanced cases, convulsive muscle contractions may occur. The child often begins to get sick with colds. There is also a possibility of deformities of the bone skeleton. To prevent this, you need to seek professional help in time.
