Patient's question:
The child doesn't sleep soundly at night, crying, shaking their head, stretching their arms, kicking their legs, and straining to hold back, turning red in the face. They always cry at night, shaking their head, stretching their arms, kicking their legs, and straining to hold back, turning red in the face.Doctor's answer:
The child's condition should be a manifestation of calcium deficiency, characterized by night terrors. Due to calcium deficiency, the excitability of the nervous system increases, and even minor stimuli can cause abnormal nerve impulses, leading to symptoms of the nervous system.Advice: This situation should be addressed by promptly supplementing with an adequate amount of calcium and increasing outdoor activity time to ensure the child no longer experiences such symptoms. If possible, it is recommended to have a thorough check-up of the child's serum electrolytes to determine the underlying cause.
