Patient's question:
Waking up frequently during naps, almost every hour, even waking up two or three times during a two-hour nap. Also loves sweating, and has just gotten six teeth. Past treatment and effectiveness: Undergone thorough examination in the hospital for calcium deficiency and is currently taking calcium supplements. Cares about...Doctor's answer:
In this case, the consideration is that the lack of calcium may be the cause, and the suggestions are as follows: When infants and young children lack calcium, the first symptoms are soft skull bones, large fontanelles, and a feeling like a ping-pong ball when pressing the skull. Later, the shape of the chest bones becomes abnormal, such as a protruding sternum resembling pigeon chest, or outwardly flared lower ribs. If the lower limbs are soft, standing and bearing weight can lead to "O" legs or "X" legs. In addition to bone changes, early symptoms include excessive sweating at night, baldness on the back of the head forming, restless and easily startled deep sleep, and delayed tooth development. These symptoms are collectively referred to as vitamin D deficiency rickets. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination of trace elements and, after confirmation, to digest them in adequate amounts.
