Patient's question:
My little baby is 4 and a half months old. When he feeds, his hands and head start to shake. I pressed his hands, but he still trembled. In the end, I pressed his Ren Zhong (GV26), and after he stopped feeding, the symptoms disappeared...Medical History and Treatment Effects:
Recently, he had a cold, and he was taking Children's Cold Relief and Cough Suppressant Granules.
Help Needed:
Is there a connection between the symptoms mentioned above and taking Children's Cold Relief?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's symptoms are likely caused by a cold leading to convulsions. It is recommended to provide treatment for the cold. There is also a possibility of calcium deficiency, and a blood calcium test can help confirm the diagnosis. The baby should consume more calcium-rich foods, such as fish, bone broth, etc. The baby's diet should be diversified, with a focus on calcium-rich foods, attention to preventing colds, maintaining good indoor air quality, and getting plenty of sunlight to support healthy growth and development.
