Patient's question:
Newborn is 23 days old with dark circles under the eyes and poor sleep. It seems like they were startled a few days ago, and since then, they've had poor appetite—either not sleeping or not waking up. They've even lost a pound compared to when they were born! I want to ask if it's possible that the scare caused this? What would be the best course of action?Doctor's answer:
The newborn is 20 days old, has dark circles under the eyes, and doesn't sleep well during naps. There may be a possibility of calcium deficiency, so it is recommended to take oral ad drops. There may also be a possibility of calcium deficiency after the full moon, when more sun exposure is needed. Additionally, it could be due to excessive fright. The weight gain may be related to physiological weight gain. The above suggestions are for the question "What to do if a newborn has dark eye circles and doesn't sleep well," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
