Patient's question:
The boy is 8 years old. At night while sleeping, his upper limbs twitch, with his fingers straight and pointing towards the palm. He also drools with white foam. This has happened three times. Is it caused by calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally those who are severely deficient in calcium or experience such conditions should focus on consuming foods rich in calcium. Warm milk, green peppers, pork liver, fish, and mushrooms are all good choices. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatments, engage in regular exercise, and get adequate sunlight to gradually improve the condition.We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the wrong treatment methods are used, the condition can progress rapidly, posing serious risks to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
