Patient's question:
My son is seven and a half months old. Recently, he has been crying non-stop at night. This phenomenon has been occurring for a week now. Every time he gets woken up, I feed him some milk, and it helps for a bit, but he gets restless again within less than 20 minutes of falling asleep. In the past, this kind of thing happened occasionally, and I didn't pay much attention, but now it happens every day, and I'm quite worried.What kind of help I need: Hello, my child's nighttime crying is much more frequent than usual. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The baby's crying again is mainly caused by situations such as hunger, poor digestion, fever, and high temperature. It is also important to pay attention to the fact that babies are prone to rickets due to a lack of calcium and vitamin D at this time. It is recommended to get more sun exposure and ensure that the baby is exposed to sunlight for several hours every day. Routine preventive measures for rickets include taking vitamin AD drops and calcium supplements. It is suggested that you take your baby to the health department of a children's hospital for a health check-up.
