Patient's question:
A 4-year-old child had a cold with fever and cough a few days ago. Now they are not feverish but still have mild cough. They have been taking azithromycin for three days and recently developed symptoms of easy fatigue, weakness, and excessive sweating. What could be the cause? What treatment methods should be used?Doctor's answer:
Hello! This situation is often caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended to actively check and confirm the diagnosis.It may be related to a deficiency in trace elements, such as calcium. It is advised to have a blood test for trace elements at the hospital for differential diagnosis to confirm the condition.
Treatment for calcium deficiency: Gluconate calcium lozenges (dissolve in water and take orally) can be used. While supplementing calcium, it is important to also supplement vitamin D (e.g., Eiko Xin or vitamin D drops) to promote calcium absorption.
