Patient's question:
After giving birth, it has been a month. A few days ago, I visited him and noticed that his baby's hair wasn't very good. I said it might be due to calcium deficiency. He said it was due to intergenerational inheritance. I still suggested he take the baby to the hospital for some tests. I don't know what kind of assistance is needed for a baby like this: Is the baby deficient in calcium? How should the baby be checked for calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Children who lack calcium generally exhibit the following symptoms. When children show these signs again, it is best to go to the hospital for a serum calcium test to determine how they are lacking in calcium. They often sweat excessively, unrelated to temperature, especially sweating from the head after falling asleep. They show no interest in their surroundings, and sometimes parents notice that the child is less lively than usual. Night terrors, frequently waking up suddenly at night with crying that lasts far longer than usual. If you have these symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to see how you are lacking in calcium.
