Patient's question:
The baby has tight muscle tone, frequent hand and foot tremors, and is easily startled and cries. In the late stages of pregnancy, the fetal movements were very strong. Once during fetal monitoring, it didn't reflect. After inhaling oxygen once, the fetal monitoring returned to normal, and the fetal movements were frequent until birth. The baby was born at 40 weeks, weighing 6.4 pounds. It was noticed immediately after birth that the baby had tremor symptoms, often curling up the hands and twitching, constantly twisting the head, making humming sounds, and sleeping restlessly, often stretching the waist. The baby is good at feeding and growing well, but doesn't move much. It is now two and a half months old. What is the cause of the twitching? Does it happen every day? Watching the baby look uncomfortable, can it be treated? If it was caused by choking on water, can it be treated? Now the baby is two and a half months old and can also laugh and say "ba-ba" words. How is the baby's reaction to tracking objects?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that the baby may be calcium-deficient or experiencing developmental issues with the nervous system. It is recommended to give the baby digestive fish oil and gluconate calcium and carefully observe the results. If the issue is related to underdeveloped nervous system growth, these symptoms usually improve gradually after the baby is three months old. It is best to visit a hospital and consult a rehabilitation doctor for a thorough examination of the baby. Based on the examination results, the baby should receive symptomatic treatment and early rehabilitation training under the guidance of a professional doctor.
