Patient's question:
Sometimes when sleeping, he shakes his head. He always cries from 10 PM to 12 AM. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: Calcium supplements were taken, but there was no improvement. What kind of help do you need: I need a clear response.Doctor's answer:
Night crying in children is likely to be caused by calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency in children is usually manifested as difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking after sleep, irritability, susceptibility to frights, crying, excessive sweating after sleep, and in severe cases, it can lead to bald spots on the head, pigeon chest, and square skulls. You can have a test for trace elements to check the situation. If there is a calcium deficiency, it should be addressed promptly. Oral calcium gluconate and fish oil drops can be taken, and supplementary foods such as rice powder, egg yolk, and fruit puree should be provided in a timely manner. Additionally, make sure the child gets plenty of sunlight.
