Patient's question:
My baby is a girl, five and a half months old. Recently, I noticed that she often shakes her head when lying down, and this symptom only occurs when she is lying down.What assistance I need: I would like to ask the doctor to help diagnose this...
Doctor's answer:
Children who lack calcium tend to sweat excessively at night, and the sweat irritates their scalps, causing itching. As a result, they are prone to shaking their heads while napping. Due to friction, this can lead to hair loss and the recurrence of bald spots on the head.If your baby exhibits these symptoms, it is recommended to take fish oil to correct the calcium deficiency. At the same time, pay attention to gently wiping the head with warm water to alleviate your baby's discomfort.
The above suggestions are for the question "Why does the child always shake their head?" I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
