Patient's question:
How to deal with a three-year-old child who often cries at night?Doctor's answer:
A child aged 3-5 years often cries at night, this is night terrors, which is a symptom of calcium deficiency. Many children experience this. It is recommended to have a blood calcium test at the hospital for a clear diagnosis. If it is calcium deficiency, calcium supplementation should be given. Calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate oral liquid can be taken, and vitamin D should be taken together to promote calcium absorption. If the night terrors are caused by calcium deficiency, the symptoms will disappear after calcium supplementation.
