Patient's question:
A child who was 3 years and 7 months old had an inflamed trachea and a fever of 39 degrees. They received intravenous fluids for 2 days. At 11 a.m. today, the child first started trembling in their right hand, then it moved to their left hand. They went to the hospital for a brain CT and blood tests, which were all normal. However, when they returned home, the trembling started again.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended to supplement with calcium, which can be done in two ways: taking calcium supplements and dietary calcium. The most common and traditional calcium-rich foods are dairy products, which not only contain a high amount of calcium but are also easily absorbed. Dairy products are also rich in minerals and vitamins, including vitamin D, which can promote calcium absorption and utilization. Yogurt is another excellent calcium-rich food. It not only helps with calcium supplementation but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups. For those who dislike milk or are lactose intolerant, they can consume more alternative foods such as oysters, nori, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, daikon radish, kale, and pak choi.
