Patient's question:
Naps during the day and afternoon for two to three hours, go to sleep at 10 PM, usually wake up around 2 AM, then sleep becomes restless, waking up every now and then, sometimes even screaming. Generally wake up around 6:30 AM. The baby is prone to fever and gets a runny nose and sneezes easily when exposed to a slight cold. Around the 10th of this month, the baby had a fever, which hasn’t improved yet. These past few days, the baby’s head has been alternating between feeling cold and hot, but body temperature readings are normal. The baby’s digestion isn’t very good.Past Treatment and Effects:
During the Spring Festival this year, the baby had a fever, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, and tearing. The doctor diagnosed it as mild pneumonia and admitted the baby to the hospital for a week of intravenous fluids. The baby is allergic to penicillin and received erythromycin instead.
Kind of Help Needed:
How can I help the baby have normal naps if they nap less? Why is the baby so prone to fever? What can I do to improve the baby’s poor digestion?
Doctor's answer:
According to your explanation, the baby sleeps less during naps and has low immunity and poor digestion. 1. It is not normal for the baby to sleep less during naps. It is recommended to take digestive vitamins AD, such as Eke Xin, Betaling, etc., to promote calcium metabolism; digestive calcium supplements, such as oral calcium gluconate, Gedi Xin, etc. It should be noted that calcium supplements should be taken at least 1 hour apart from milk, otherwise it will interfere with calcium metabolism. 2. Pay attention to adding or removing clothes in a timely manner, supplementing trace elements, and taking oral medications to enhance respiratory immunity and prevent fever.
