Patient's question:
Lately, he has been crying constantly during the day, as if something is bothering him. I suspect it might be his stomach. When I pick him up and play with a toy, he stops crying, but then starts again after a while. His expression seems quite painful.Past treatment history and effectiveness: The day before yesterday, he had a fever of 38.2°C and slightly swollen tonsils. The doctor prescribed medication for rectal injection.
What help do you need: Could you please tell me what is wrong with the child?
Doctor's answer:
The baby is restless and irritable, which is likely caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine which trace elements are lacking. Calcium supplementation not only involves digesting calcium supplements but also requires more sun exposure, as sunlight can also enhance calcium absorption. Of course, it could also be caused by untreated tonsillitis. It is necessary to first go to the hospital for confirmation and then receive targeted treatment for a better recovery.
