Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. How can we treat the shaking when the child is sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is considered to be caused by calcium deficiency, which typically manifests as sudden waking up at night followed by crying or fearful reactions. Blood trace element tests can be conducted, following the principle of supplementing what is lacking. Increase your intake of calcium-rich foods such as fish, bone broth, etc. Your condition may be chickenpox, an acute infectious disease caused by the initial infection of the varicella-zoster virus. Treatment focuses on anti-infection and antiviral measures, and cimetidine intravenous drip can be used for treatment, which is quite effective.
