Hi! Solomon this answer was based on my research. But if you are not sure in my answer i will give you my resources. Here's the link:
Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children, usually because of an extreme and prolonged vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D deficiency is most commonly caused by a lack of exposure to sunlight. Some disorders can also cause the deficiency. The most common cause is lack of exposure to sunlight, usually when the diet is deficient in vitamin D, but certain disorders can also cause the deficiency.
Increasing vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate levels will help correct the disorder. Most children with rickets see improvements in about one week. Skeletal deformities will often improve or disappear over time if rickets is corrected while the child is still young.
Complications. In the short-term, severely low calcium levels in the blood can lead to cramps, seizures, and breathing problems. In severe cases, untreated, long-term nutritional rickets can increase the risk of: bones that break easily
