Patient's question:
The baby has been grinding their teeth during naps at night, which is a new phenomenon. They toss and turn and can't sleep peacefully, crying more than usual. However, during the day, they are perfectly normal and in good spirits. The local doctor said that such young children should not take deworming medication.Previous Treatment and Effects: None.
What kind of help is needed: Is it a calcium deficiency or intestinal worms?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, if it can be confirmed that the child has intestinal parasites, you can find a lot of pumpkin seeds and then have your child eat 30 kernels of raw seed kernels every night for a week to expel the parasites. Additionally, this situation may also be due to calcium deficiency, so please supplement your child with calcium for 20 days. The above is advice on the issue of "an 18-month-old baby grinding their teeth during naps at night," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
