Patient's question:
Symptoms for half a month: Recently doesn't like to eat, wakes up after sleeping for a while for no reason, always fussy, and doesn't know what caused it.Onset time and cause: From 3 days ago to now.
Treatment status: Wants to get help: What's going on and how to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child doesn't like to eat and often wakes up. Crying is a sign that the child may be lacking calcium and needs to be treated with calcium supplements. On sunny days, it's good to let the child get more sunlight. In terms of food, it should be diversified, and infant stomach-strengthening powder can be taken appropriately for treatment, along with more activity and observation.Regarding the reasons for the baby's symptoms, I consider two possibilities: one is that the baby is not well-nourished, and the other is that the baby is deficient in vitamin AD. A deficiency in vitamin AD can make the baby more prone to crying, fussiness, and waking up easily.
Suggestions: If the baby is not getting enough milk, the main indicator is weight. If the baby's weight gain is less than two pounds, it suggests they are not well-nourished. For vitamin AD supplementation, it is generally recommended to start after the baby is about two weeks old.
