Patient's question:
The baby is 6 months old. At night, they sweat so much that the blanket gets soaked with sweat. They also frequently scream. What illness could this be? What kind of help do you want to receive: What is the situation?Doctor's answer:
Parent, if you always sweat profusely during deep sleep at night and experience sudden crying again, the first thing to consider is calcium deficiency. However, the main manifestations of calcium deficiency are sweating, restlessness during deep sleep, (bald spots on the back of the head), and sudden crying is rarely seen. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a follow-up checkup and have alkaline phosphatase and blood calcium levels tested. It is also best to have an electroencephalogram (EEG) and muscle tone checked to rule out the possibility of epilepsy. I have already started taking digestive vitamin D every morning and calcium before going to bed at night.
