Patient's question:
What is the reason for a four-year-old boy waking up frequently at 2:30 a.m. and not being able to fall back asleep until 5:30 a.m.? This happens often after the start of autumn and spring. The symptom is waking up at night and crying because he can't fall back asleep. He has received calcium injections at the local clinic but has no effect. I would like to ask how to treat this.Doctor's answer:
After reviewing your description, this situation is often caused by calcium deficiency. If you decide to supplement calcium, I recommend oral calcium gluconate solution, which has a very good reputation. In our daily diet, the main sources of calcium are cow's milk and dairy products, which are not only rich in content but also have high absorption rates. In addition to the above, beans are also a good source of calcium. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does the boy wake up at 3:00 and can't fall back asleep?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
