Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What reactions might occur if the baby's soft spot is accidentally hit?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, which may manifest as pain, sweating, or spasms, a blood calcium test can help with diagnosis. Calcium supplements like Gai Zhong Gai can be effective, and it's recommended to consume foods high in calcium, such as fish and bone broth. Rest and nutrition should also be noted.For children, there may be possibilities of wind-cold, improper feeding, or intestinal diseases. It's advisable to investigate the cause on your own. In the meantime, you can try giving small amounts of Mamai Ai or Jian Pi San to gradually regulate the condition. Avoid exposure to cold and hold the baby upright for a while after feeding before putting them down to prevent abdominal pressure.
