Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am very concerned, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. What could be the reason for the baby's sudden startles?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is considered to be caused by calcium deficiency, which typically manifests as sudden waking up at night followed by crying or fearful reactions. Blood trace element tests can be conducted, following the principle of supplementing what is lacking. Increase the intake of calcium-rich foods such as fish and bone broth. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, timely attention to the child's condition is crucial, and they should do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
