Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, my baby is 7 months old and has a hoarse voice—how should I handle it?Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child may be related to previous throat inflammation, likely due to incomplete clearance of the inflammation. Mucolytic tablets (carbocysteine tablets), such as Mucosolvan, can be used to help reduce mucus and alleviate cough.It is normal for children to start teething between four and ten months. However, there is a possibility of calcium deficiency, so it is recommended to check the child's trace elements or bone density to confirm if there is a deficiency. If calcium deficiency is indeed present, it is important to actively supplement with calcium and vitamin D, as well as increase sun exposure to aid calcium absorption. Calcium supplements such as Caltrate D or gluconate calcium can be tried.
