Patient's question:
Cried at night, held the baby around and then stopped, easily awakened, sweating a lot. In the past week, mostly at night. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: Want to give the baby Tri-Jing Gluconate Calcium Oral Liquid and Vitamin AD Droplets, but unsure if it's okay. Besides, how to take it...Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to supplement children with calcium and vitamin AD. However, the child's crying should also be considered as a result of excessive fright.Recommendation: It is not advisable to use the calcium supplement you mentioned for the child, as the dosage of calcium is difficult to control. If the child is formula-fed, there is no need to supplement with calcium as long as they consume 600 milliliters of milk per day. If the child is breastfed, their physiological daily calcium requirement is 500 milligrams. The physiological daily requirement for vitamin D is 400-600 units, and for vitamin A, it is 1,500 units.
If the child's crying is due to excessive fright, you can try the method of wearing cinnabar to calm and soothe them. The method is as follows: Buy 1-2 grams of cinnabar, first wrap it in a thin piece of paper, then wrap the paper in a small red cloth (for beauty, use red), and finally string it with a red ribbon for the child to wear. The length should be appropriate to reach the line connecting the two nipples.
Precautions: It must be worn close to the skin to be effective and should not be placed in the child's mouth (cinnabar is toxic). It should be removed during bathing, and the wearing time should not exceed one week. After one week, it should be removed and stored until needed, then worn for another week. The interval between wearing should be at least one week.
Mechanism: The medicinal properties of cinnabar are believed to penetrate the child's skin to take effect.
