Patient's question:
Half a year oldDetailed medical condition and purpose of consultation: Often cries in dreams while sleeping at night
Duration of the current episode: Frequently
Current general condition:
Medical history: Often experiences crying in dreams while sleeping at night, then falls back asleep. Wakes up again crying after less than an hour and a half. This occurs intermittently during the second half of the night, but not in the first half. This happens when she sleeps with her grandmother, but rarely happens when she sleeps with me, with only one instance being the most frequent. Could it be due to her grandmother's snoring all night? Because her snoring is quite loud!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation with the baby is due to calcium deficiency. You can take Icicle Vitamin AD drops and Gailede Compound Calcium Carbonate Granules, which are quite effective. Calcium supplementation can prevent rickets and its symptoms, such as bald spots on the head, irritability, lack of interest in the surroundings, night sweats, frequent sudden awakenings at night with continuous crying. For children over one year old, it may manifest as delayed teething, with some children still not having teeth at 18 months, delayed closure of the anterior fontanelle, often not closing until after 18 months. The forehead may be prominent, forming a square skull, and there may be (beaded ribs). The prevention and treatment of rickets require both calcium supplementation and vitamin D, as well as getting more sunlight.
