Patient's question:
The other night, I scolded the child very harshly. That same night at 3 a.m., they started talking in their sleep, then sat up crying, ignoring attempts to comfort them. The next day, when they woke up, they had no memory of what happened again.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of help is needed: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
So many children primarily consider crying and screaming in their dreams (you might criticize them harshly, or they might be scared). Jujube, longan, and millet porridge has some regulating effects and can calm the mind and nourish blood, making it particularly suitable for young children. These types of children have a strong aversion, so it's best to gradually cultivate their reading and character. Psychological support can be provided, such as reading fairy tales before bed or engaging them in interesting topics that capture their attention. Over time, things will naturally improve, as long as their appetite and normal life are not disturbed. This situation is unnecessary to worry too much about. It could also be a calcium deficiency.Advice: Excessive fear from watching scary TV shows or other frightening events, as well as calcium deficiency, can both lead to nighttime waking and crying.
