Patient's question:
Patient Age: -8My sister's child was born 25 days ago, and in these past few days, they have been crying at night and having difficulty sleeping.
Previous Treatment and Effects:
They have seen doctors several times. Some said it was a cold or stomach pain, while others said it was calcium deficiency. We don't know who to believe.
What kind of help they are seeking:
I want to know what is going on.
Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility that the child may be calcium-deficient, it is recommended to have a blood calcium test at the hospital to confirm whether there is a calcium deficiency. If calcium supplementation is needed, oral calcium gluconate can be taken, combined with vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a 25-day-old baby cry at night and have difficulty sleeping?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
