Patient's question:
At 40 days old, the baby has experienced two instances where the head tilted to one side, with the eyes and mouth also leaning to the same side. The eyes were cross-eyed, and the neck was stiff, only returning to normal after a while.At around two weeks, the baby had a slight cold with nasal congestion, sneezing, and a constant whistling sound in the throat, but no fever. The doctor diagnosed pneumonia. Now, the baby is always shivering while sleeping. Just as they fall asleep, they start shaking their hands and feet as if startled and wake up shortly after, then begin crying. This cycle repeats, making it difficult for them to sleep well.
The doctor suspects a calcium deficiency, but a trace element test showed no deficiency.
Doctor's answer:
To go to the hospital for chest X-ray, CT, bronchoscopy, and bronchial provocation test, etc., oral amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, expectorant, licorice tablets, ketotifen, and traditional Chinese medicine for cough and phlegm relief are required. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods during the day. Regular exercise is needed to strengthen the body.We know that pediatric neurology diseases can cause significant harm to children. If not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment promptly at a reputable hospital. This is the key.
