Patient's question:
The infant can sleep until lunchtime and then needs to sleep again after 2-3 hours before eating. After the nap, they wake up and play until around 5 PM, then sleep again. They are easily startled by even the slightest noise. They are given Jing Qi pills every day. In terms of diet, they eat very little and are breastfed as well as fed with formula milk, but vomiting occurs when consuming formula milk. Their stools are sometimes green, usually yellow, but always contain something like small pieces of chili. Their weight gain is poor, only weighing 14 pounds. The condition has been present before but was not severe, and has now worsened. The possible cause may be being startled or staying up late. They have not been examined, but have only taken Jing Qi pills, which have had no effect.Doctor's answer:
Based on your age and symptoms, it is considered to be caused by a lack of calcium. This leads to reduced nerve sensitivity, so it is recommended to check for trace elements. It is suggested to digest the trace elements, tolerate taking them for a period of time, and engage in more outdoor activities, which will gradually improve. Additionally, there may be a deficiency of zinc, which could be causing the child to be uninterested in dinner. Oral calcium gluconate, zinc gluconate, and other supplements can be taken. The above advice is for the question "Infant often cries awake from excessive fright at night, goes to bed late, and frequently sticks out their tongue." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
