Patient's question:
The baby keeps scratching their head, which feels a bit crazy because there are so many wounds on their head. They went to the hospital for a health check-up, and the doctor said the child is growing a bit too fast, suggesting they take liquid calcium. After taking liquid calcium for a while, the head-scratching didn't improve, and they also experienced restless nights every few days, with cold hands and feet and thick layers of sweat. How can one determine if the child is calcium-deficient? Did I give them too little calcium?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the baby might also be allergic to something, or it could be caused by calcium deficiency, or it might be a manifestation of ADHD. The more they scratch, the itchier they become, and the more agitated they get, the more severe the itching becomes. The key is to relax the baby's mood and pay attention to scalp care. You can apply some calamine lotion or aloe vera gel. At the same time, relax the baby's mood and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
