Patient's question:
The child is fussy during sleep and has slightly yellow hair. My baby is formula-fed, and I wonder if she might be calcium-deficient. I don't know what kind of calcium to supplement. Can you give me some advice?Past treatment history and effectiveness: At one month old, she had a fever and took over-the-counter cold medicine. She had mild pneumonia and underwent six days of physical therapy.
What kind of help is needed: Please let me know what kind of calcium supplement would be best for her.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to undergo a detailed and thorough examination at the hospital, including a check-up for trace elements to diagnose the condition. This symptom is often likely to recur at this age, primarily due to calcium deficiency. It is advisable to take easily digestible calcium supplements for treatment, which should stabilize the condition quickly.Lifestyle care: Pay attention to avoiding cold exposure to the lower limbs. Additionally, consuming bone soup and similar foods can also be beneficial.
