Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could you please explain why the child cries and fusses at night when sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Children's unexplained crying, the most common reason is usually calcium deficiency. Since young infants are solely breastfed, they lack sufficient calcium sources, and with their rapid growth, they are highly prone to calcium deficiency. This often manifests as sleep discomfort, head shaking, abdominal distension, and frequent actions resembling stretching. In severe cases, they may experience restless night crying, and some may have persistent crying at specific times.Children's immune systems are relatively weak, making them more susceptible to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it's important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
