Patient's question:
A four-month-old baby occasionally shakes their head like they are urinating when held during the day. What could be the reason? They have received intravenous drips and some nerve-nourishing medications. What could have caused this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there might be two possible situations: one is that the child has congenital growth and development abnormalities, and the other is that the child is too young and lacks the strength in the neck, which makes the head unstable. It is recommended that you carefully observe for a period of time to see which condition the child may have. Generally, a lack of calcium can cause symptoms like head shaking. For your baby's situation, it is suggested to try supplementing with calcium. At four months, babies cannot obtain enough calcium from their mothers to support their growth and development, so they need to supplement it.
